An alternate interpretation
A curator at an institution that previously owned the manuscript likely wrote the anonymous abstract and table of contents that used to be tucked inside the front cover of Henry Bellingham's Book. This brief document relates a very different interpretation of the manuscript than is presented on this site: that Henry Bellingham compiled the whole manuscript for use in delivering lectures. After examining the manuscript and weighing the evidence, how do you think that this manuscript was used?
This type-written summary is located within the clamshell box housing Henry Bellingham's Book. It is an important part of the manuscript's history.
