As ‘Addenda’ to my posting of 17 June 2010 (see ‘Subject’ above) here
are details of the only other remaining printed editions with MS
annotations in RGS-IBG Collections (i.e., other, non-annotated, editions
are also held).

 

Cologne, 1608 (265.F.26): pen & ink annotations:-

Page numbers inserted for [33]-48 inclusive (NB: other lacunæ and
printer’s and binders’ errors ignored here); ‘Index capitum’, sig. [B3r]
has, in outer/right margin, “15 ¾”; Pars secunda, fol.282, sig. [Nn6r],
in outer/right margin, adjacent to ‘Incolæ. Virginia regio.’, has
addition of “Virginia”. 

And, not strictly relevant in the present context, on volume’s
fore-edge, is pen & ink “Ptolemaei | Geograp:”
