Regarding the 'Iphigenia en taurois' and 'Iphigenia en Aulidi' Greswell writes: 'By mistake from the resemblance of the titles the Binder has put together two copies of the first play & omitted wholly the second'. He notes a second fault, before concluding: 'Jn G: has sent these two vols for Mr. Ford's inspection'. On the reverse Ford writes: 'Revd Wm. Parr Greswell of Denton near Manchester in the Co. of Lancashire, a Gentleman well known by some interesting and esteemed works, as Memoirs of Angelus Politianus and other eminent Italian Scholars of the Fifteenth Century.
