Latin Annotations in a Copy of Stowe's Chaucer and the Seventeenth-Century Reception of Troilus and Criseyde

Description
The annotations from Virgil and Seneca in a copy (not previously discussed) of Stow's edition of TC act much like footnotes in modern editions to identify such things as analogues. They also demonstrate that classical tag-lines had become common by the seventeenth century, and they shed light on how other copies of Chaucer were annotated in the same period.
