Small folio. The endpaper recto has a long manuscript inscription in Latin addressed to to Elizabeth I ('Divae Elizabetae') and is signed 'Votis Multis / Joannes Masonias'. An early manuscript note under neath reads, 'This Book was a pres ent on New Year's Day [n.d.] from Sir John Mason to queen Elizabeth. Sir John Mason was Treasurer of the Queen’s Chamber and a man of learning and gravity but a great devourer of church land. He died in the year 1566.' The pigskin binding is elaborately decorated overall in gilt. The inclu sion of four Tudor rose motifs on each panel possibly suggests that it is the work of the Royal binder for Queen Elizabeth I. All edges are gilt and gauffered. Internally very good and clean. Some wear on binding, particularly at top forecorner of front panel.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. Definitions in these Conditions, Sheppard’s, who act only as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called ‘the Auctioneers’ and the representatives of Sheppard’s conducting the auction is called ‘The Auctioneer’. 2. General: Whilst Sheppard’s make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the descripton of any lot. (a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lot or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of descriptions. (b) Sheppard’s do not accept responsibility for the authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, authorship, date, age, period, condition or quality of any lot, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify, and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor are not themselves responsible for such claims. (c) All statements, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally, as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Sheppard’s, unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor so to certify and in such case the Auctioneers do so as agents of the vendor and are not themselves responsible for such claims. 3. The Auction: (a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regular bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or without previous notice. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion. (b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen, he has absolute discretion to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid. (c) All conditions, notices, descriptions, statements and other matters in the catalogue and elsewhere concerning any lot are subject to any statements modifying or affecting the same made by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to any bid being accepted for the lot. 4. Recission: Notwithstanding any other forms of these Conditions. If within fourteen days after the sale Sheppard’s have received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within twenty-one days after such notification the buyer returns the same to Sheppard’s in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies Sheppard’s that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. 5. Default: Sheppard’s disclaim responsibility for default by either the buyer or the vendor because they act as agents for the vendor only and therefore do not pay out to the vendor until payment is received from the buyer. Instructions given by telephone are accepted at the sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith. 6. In the event of a sale by private treaty both the vendor and the buyer agree to be bound by the General and any Special Conditions of Sale.
BUYERS’ CONDITIONS 7. Inspection: Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he has satisfied himsellf fully before bidding by inspection or otherwise as to all the Sale Conditions the physical condition of and description of the lot including but not restricted to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored. 8. Property and Risk Legal title will not pass to the buyer until the lot(s) has been paid for in full and the Auctioneers shall he entitled to a lien on any lot sold until the purchase price (as defined in 11 below) is paid in full but each lot is at the sole risk of the buyer from the fall of the hammer. Each buyer shall forthwith give his full names and permanent address and if called upon to do so by the Auctioneer shall forthwith pay to Sheppard’s such proportion of the purchase price as the Auctioneer may require. If the buyer fails to do so, the lot may at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion be put up again and re-sold. 9. Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgment by Sheppard’s that he acts as agent on behalf of a named principal. 10. Removal of Goods. (a) No purchase shall be claimed until it has been paid for and the sale has been concluded. All purchases shall be paid for and removed at the buyer’s risk and expense, failing which the Auctioneer shall not be responsible if the same are lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed and all lots not so removed shall remain at the risk of the buyer and subject to a minimum warehousing charge of €5 per item per day. If they are not paid for and removed within seven days of the Sale the Auctioneer may re-sell them by auction or privately without notice to the buyer. Any liability which there may be on the part of the Auctioneer in respect of any loss shall be restricted to a maximum of the price paid by the buyer of the lot. (b) In the event of any failure of the buyers to comply with any of the conditions the damages recoverable by the seller or the Auctioneers from the defaulter shall include any loss arising on any re-sale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales, and any money deposited in part payment shall be held by the Auctioneers on account of any liability of the defaulter to them or to the seller. The Auctioneers are unable to accept payment from successful bidders other than in cash or by the bidder’s own cheque. Cheques drawn by third parties whether in the Auctioneer’s favour or requiring endorsement, cannot be accepted. 11. Purchase Price: The purchaser shall pay the hammer price together with a premium of 20%+ VAT at standard rate. The premium attracts VAT at the standard rate and is payable by all purchasers. The vendor authorises the Auctioneer to deduct commission and expenses at the stated rates from the hammer price and acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to retain the premium payable by the purchaser. Payment by cash or guaranteed cheque. Although every effort is made to report damage and restoration to lots in this catalogue, absence of condition does not imply a lot is free from damage, and prospective purchasers must in all cases be responsible for determining condition themselves. COMMISSION BIDS If instructed we will execute bids and advise intending Purchasers. The service is free. Lots will always be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Bids, when placed by telephone, are accepted only at the sender’s risk, and must be confirmed by letter. IMPERFECTIONS NOT STATED Special Condition: All purchases to be paid for the evening of sale. EXPLANATION OF CATALOGUING PRACTICE: A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised designation of an artist, without any qualification, is, in our opinion, a work by the artist in other cases, the following expressions, with the following meanings are used: “Attributed to . . .’’ in our opinion probably work by the artist in whole or in part. “Studio of . . .” in our opinion a work executed in the studion or workshop of the artist, possibly under his supervision. “Workshop of . . .’’. “Circle of . . .’’ in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence. “Follower of . . . ” in our opinion a work executed in the artist’s style but not necessarily by a pupil. “Manner of . . . ’’ in our opinion a work executed in the artist’s style but of a later date. “After . . .’’ in our opinion a copy (of any date) of a work of the artist. “Signed . . .’’ in our opinion the work has been signed/dated/inscribed by the artist. The addition of a question mark indicates an element of doubt. “With signature . . ’’ in our opinion the signature/date/inscription is by a hand other than that of the artist. “With date . . .’’ “With inscription . . .’’
