I got the book then started typing the entries out in mid-late February. On what is left of the front cover there are some tiny shells to the top left of 'My'. The "signatue" is almost nowhere to be seen, I had to look at the image you put up to know what it looked like. The X P is just visible on the bottom-left fragment.

My version was so cheap I'd say because of the damage to the front cover (almost gone), blue biro marks on several pages, and no special inserts. And some sellers are very generous. For �20 I once got an incomplete 1836 edition of Cowper's Life and Works (6 out of 8 volumes, with damage to several).

I'm keen to get the typed version corrected, and perhaps look at "dodgy" spellings in more detail, using original-spelling 15th-centruy texts. Feel free to email improvements to the draft. To make this easier, a plain text version of just the entries is here:

At the time of the postings I had a quick few searches on the author of the book, and found references to a faux-Egyptian work of his. You were right about the date of the work I believe (you told me details in Mirc chat, I have some of them saved). Nothing shown online about Rangette & Sons.

This was the condition of the cover:
