In left-to-right order, each item listed below is identified by (a) its Donne Variorum short form (nc = noncanonical), (b) a siglum-plus-ordinal-position item tag, (c) its location in the artifact (by folio or page nos.), and (d) diplomatic transcriptions of its heading (HE) and first line.
Additional information: Foliation (added since Peter Beal's Index of English Literary Manuscripts [1980]) proofed by Gary A. Stringer, April 29, 1992.
On July 21, 2008 this index was updated to reflect the current foliation of the manuscript. (When the manuscript was rebound in the late 80s, the binder skipped a page and the DV index originally showed a f. 76a. The manuscript was since refoliated from f. 76, probably by librarian Jo Wisdom, the St. Paul's librarian, to avoid confusion.)
