Really what more could you ask for? This is the only extant copy (thanks again Bodleian). In case you are wondering the same formula will grow you a new set of teeth and also 'take out the furrowed wrinkles as smooth as a girl of sixteen'.

Very slowly poached preferably overnight cut up quinces sugar syrup (equal sugar and water) to cover overnight in a very low oven hardly any faff but I think better than quince paste and more versatile

Desperately Seeking Sarah: My Vain Quest for Marginalia by Paul Salzman I am at the early stages of a large project on almanacs. Iโ€™m investigating the readership and use through time of a large sample of what was the most popular printed item in the sevโ€ฆ

And hereโ€™s a link to my blog piece on tracking down Jinner almanacs on the early modern marginalia research network earlymodernmarginaliaresearchnetwork.com/2024/02/08/d...

I donโ€™t think that this is what you mean but when I was working on halliwellโ€™s scrapbooks I was always conscious that his scraps equated to gaps/holes somewhere else. Or indeed even in the same place which I think is the case at the Folger.
