See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 312. The A. B. of the preface was believed to be lord Essex (Edm. Bolton’s Hypercritica ad fin., Oxf. 1722). There is something peculiar about this edition, for bibliographers describe it as London, and the woodcut in the dedication is not otherwise known to belong to Barnes. The titlepage and form are rather of London than Oxford. A metal engraving in the text is perhaps Barnes’s: see 1591. B.
