- Acquisition notes
- The B on the recto was added when this was transferred from one of the Harleian manuscripts containing Bagford's collection to P&D, and the plus number shows that it was a later addition to Philipe's album, placed there to join the other prints by Adam Ghisis after the Sistine ceiling. It might be identified with the missing Gg,4O.11, 'A figure seated before a book, Eritraea' which Carpenter has annotated as by Adam Ghisi. The problem in doing so is that this is the Cumaean Sibyl, not the Eritraean Sibyl.
