Merton Library Ptolemy

Casson and Rubinstein (62) cite this copy of Ptolmey’s 1538 work of Celestial Mechanics at the Merton College Library as being annotated by Neville. However, they offer no defense of this attribution, and annotations are more consistent (if not transparently the same on close enough examination of many particulars of the data) with de Vere’s hand as established by Stritmatter 2023.
