Summary

Two leaves from a mid- to late-16th-century volume of multiple works of Thomas More, written in 33-36 lines of secretary script with running titles in the top margin and capital letters marking sections in the left margin. The leaves are half-median or chancery folio paper, with a watermark of a glove surmounted by a trefoil. Leaf 1 (244 x 170 mm), with running title The fourth booke, contains text from More's The answere to the fyrst parte of the poysened booke, book 4, chapters 2-3, corresponding roughly, with textual variants, to pages clxxxvii-cxc in the edition printed in 1534 (STC 18077). Leaf 2 (245 x 174 mm), with running title The thyrde booke, contains text from More's Dyaloge of dyvers matters, correspondingly roughly to pages cxviii-cxviiii in the edition printed in 1530 (STC 18085). Both works are defenses of the Catholic Church against Protestant challengers.
