  • John Field: 'I. Feildus' 'Cantab. Aule Pembroch.' (top right of title-page, preceded by his motto at top left: 'Non mihi sed Christo'); elected a fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, in 1593 (A. Hegarty, Biographical Register of St John’s College, Oxford, 1555–1660, OHS n.s. 43 (2011), 273). It is not clear whether he is responsible also for the two Greek clauses written at middle right of the title-page.
