Phillipott’s ‘Villare Cantianum’ 1659

In 1927 the Hon. Henry Hannen noted in Archaeologia Cantiana for that year, the existence of what he referred to as a ‘second impression’ of the 1659 Villare Cantianum, also mentioning Dr Cocks copy with the cancel t.p. for 1664. It has since come to light that these references were only a hint at what remained to be uncovered.
