a tiny bit of good news is that we have secured funding to digitize john milton's copy of holinshed's CHRONICLES (1587).
the images will form part of MILTON'S LIBRARY, an open-access site featuring the 10 books positively identified as milton's w/ transcriptions/translations of his marginal notes.

St John's Cambridge Rr.7.15. Title page with ownership inscription crossed out messily.
Cambridge Whipple WS 570. Page with six lines of writing crossed out, and new ownership inscription added in.
Rare books people! Following some lively & productive discussion at the @livesandletters.bsky.social conference last week, I have a question: how would you describe inscriptions like these?
