5. Notes on Access

• These entries were identified through exact-name and close-variant searches in the local EEBO FTS database.
• STC numbers are included here where they have already been directly verified in the project materials.
• The local search databases are:
• /Users/kenf/Database/Pervez Database/earlyprint/earlyprint.db
• /Users/kenf/Database/Pervez Database/earlyprint/earlyprint_fts_lemma_word.db
• A02836 is included because it matches the search, but its wording identifies an Abergavenny Henry Nevil rather than the Billingbear Neville line.
• The Florio / Montaigne dedication is a collateral Neville-family witness, not a Billingbear Henry Neville dedication. It is included because it identifies Lady Marie Nevill as “wife to Sir Henrie Nevill of Abergevenny.”
