Inscribed (f. 1v, in a court hand) Daniell Leare his Booke

: i.e. compiled chiefly by Daniel Leare, a distant cousin of the poet William Strode, probably at Christ Church, Oxford, before he entered the Middle Temple in 1633.
This suggestion, by Mary Hobbs, is supported by entries in the Caution Book of 1625-41 at Christ Church, where Strode is found (p. 22) paying £10 as college security for Leare and where Leare signs (p. 23) on this sum's repayment by Dr Fell on 13 May 1633. Forey suggests (p. lxxix) that he was the Daniell Leare of St Andrews, Holburne, whose will was proved in 1652; but it is more likely that he was the Daniel Leare to whom Henry King, Dean of Rochester, leased property at Chatham on 19 July 1655 (
The volume includes 12 poems by Donne; 15 poems (plus a second copy of one and three of doubtful authorship) by Carew; 20 poems (plus two of uncertain authorship) by Corbett; and 84 poems (plus second copies of eight poems, four poems of doubtful authorship and some apocryphal poems) by Strode, the texts being closely related to, and in part probably transcribed from, the Corpus MS

Books Inscribed by Randolph
Inscribed on the title-page, undoubtedly in the poet's hand, Thomas Randolph Trin: Coll: Cambridge
and the same hand has also written the abbreviation T:R:T:C:C:
on sig. Aiiijv. Probably three other early hands were responsible for assorted marginalia which appear elsewhere in this volume, one of them the gentleman who inscribed the last page (p. 336) JosePhiper liber 1618 [or 1628] Octr: 28
.
Although offered in sale catalogue No. 56 (1912), item 305, by the Charing Cross Road bookseller Arthur Reader and sold at some time before then by Sotheby's, this volume seems to have escaped the attention of Randolph scholars until its acquisition by the Bodleian in 1968.
It was first effectively recorded in Davis's unpublished thesis on Randolph (1970), pp. 167-8.

Miss E.S. Leedham-Green has suggested this is in the poet's own hand, but I am of the firm opinion that this was written on his behalf by someone else (perhaps Thomas Goldfinch or some other college butler or official), as was quite customary in this period.
