Notes:
A translation, by William Caxton, of: Legrand, Jacques. Le livre de bonnes moeurs.
Title from Duff.
Imprint from colophon; publication date suggested by STC.
First line of text, leaf a1, reads: "Whan I considre the condicyons [and]".
The signatures are to the sheet. The first leaf in the book contains only a woodcut of a man sitting at a desk, but though a cut used by Pynson it almost certalnly does not belong to the book, which would have had a first leaf with a short title and a woodcut like the Wynkyn de Worde edition--STC.
