For their financial support of this endeavor, we would like to thank Colby College, Marquette University, and the Mellon Fellowship in Critical Bibliography at Rare Book School. We would also like to express our gratitude to the knowledgeable and helpful staff of the Huntington Library, the British Library, the Bodleian Library, the Coventry County Archives, and the Venerable English College in Rome, especially Professor Maurice Whitehead. For help with research queries both small and large, but in all respects essential, we thank Daniel Davies, Aaron Pratt, R. D. Perry, Sebastian Sobecki, and Daniel Wakelin, with special thanks to C. J. Lambert and Lucas Wood for aid in Latin and French translation quandaries. Finally, we would like to note that the process of compiling and completing this edition has been an uncommonly pleasant and smooth one; for this, we express our deep appreciation to the staff at METS, especially Russell Peck and Pamela Yee, as well as staff editors Katherine Briant and Ashley Conklin. We would also like to thank the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for its longstanding funding of METS.
