Buc's Daphnis (1605)

Inscribed copies of this publication cannot be counted as part of Buc's personal library because in at least two cases he inscribed volumes as a prelude to giving them away to his patrons. The third volume listed includes a textual emendation in Buc's hand, but not a dedication.

• Huntington Library RB 60505: Dedication inscription in verse to Lord Ellesmere (Kincaid says this is the Folger copy, but it is the Huntington copy; photo in Greg, fig. V)

• British Library G.11553 (Grenville copy): Dedication inscription to Henry Howard, earl of Northampton (photo in Eccles, opp. p. 456); pen corrections: diaeresis, Hertford changed to Hereford, datus to datur, paying special attention to double letters; correction of 1602 to 1605 on engraved genealogical tree.

• British Library C.71.b.18, Sig. A4v: marginal correction: to the word "confesse" Buc adds as an interlineation:
