Footnotes

Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666) was ambassador to Portugal and Spain until just before his death. His widow, Anne, Lady Fanshawe, saw through the press his translation of Hurtado de Mendoza's verse play, celebrating the birthday of Philip IV. Many copies of this first issue were given as gifts by Lady Fanshawe; the Bradley Martin-Pirie copy bore an inscription of the same date but with the presentation details inked through, while the Folger copy is inscribed to their only surviving son Richard.

Provenance: Early annotations or corrections at a few points (including "shee sighs", p.61; "Aside", p.80); Porkington Library, bookplate.
