Uncontrolled note

Teerink 761 records "another edition" where the headpiece on p.[i] contains a bowl of fruit and the catchword on p.[i]: of. He records a second edition of this "another edition" but does not make clear the nature of its headpiece on p.[i] (presumably a "bowl of fruit" also?). This ed. matches this second edition except for the headpiece on p.[i]
