Copy 1 Note: Originally identified as an edition of Erra Pater's 'Book of knowledge' (see WHML Cat. ii. 529) but in fact almost entirely a different work, though with some correspondence in subject matter and arrangement. The bulk of the work is taken word for word from 'The knowledge of things unknowne' by Godfridus but material has evidently been added from other sources (e.g. p. 61-2 from Erra Pater)
