Binding Date Explanation
Harvard catalogue gives morocco as 'contemporary' (although other entries have misapplied this to books definitely bound for Thomas Hollis V nearly a century after publication). One working hypothesis is that these books were bound together c. 1691 (the latest publication date in the volume), perhaps for Thomas Hollis II or III. Still, there are no provenance records for the book's owners before Hollis V -- great-nephew of Hollis III. It's possible that he bound the books retroactively and the morocco is misdated.

Owner Date Explanation
NOTE: Harvard has scans of manifests showing the years Hollis V's book titles were received over the 1760s, but the handwritten text hasn't been made searchable. For his donations to Harvard, I will keep dates in a general range. Later, it may be possible to date the donations more precisely, following this link: https://hollisarchives.lib.harvard.edu/repositories/4/resources/3970
