Yes, it is entirely reasonable that this would be the last 'original' entry in the MS.
There aren't many entries in the MS that can be called 'later' with any confidence.
I think these few cases are:
- the quire marks. logically, these would only be added after the MS was completed and ready for binding.
- the month names in the zodiac area.
- the folio numbers
- much more recent annotations that seem to be in pencil: 'a' 'b' and 'c' above some of the cosmological pages
- the cover and anything written on it

Register or Login to view.A palaeographer can tell at a glance the approximate dates of each of these, but I now have data to back it up. A lot of it. This is important because an expert has already said that John Dee did the foliation. I wanted to find evidence to support or refute that claim (I don't care what the answer is, I only care about finding the answer).

If nick P is correct about many of the nymphs being 'updated' by a later scribe, was this person just trying to make the nymphs look more modern and less antiqued?
