Transcription notes
AIC's record carries NO catalogue reference data at all - publication_history, provenance_text, inscriptions and alt_titles are all null. Identification rests on the exact title plus date 1638 plus medium. IIIF manifest confirmed HTTP 200. The sheet is cut within the platemark, hence markedly smaller than the ~135 x 103 mm plate.
How to read this record
Every field above is transcribed from the holding institution’s own published record, in the institution’s own words. Nothing has been normalised, converted or reconciled — where a record is internally inconsistent, or disagrees with another institution, the inconsistency is preserved, because it is data about the state of cataloguing for this plate rather than noise to be tidied away.
If this record is wrong — and if you work at this institution you will know before we do — please tell us. Corrections are logged with their reason and credited.
