First two words of title in Greek characters.
Printed by William Bentley (Madan).
Published soon after the execution of King Charles I in 1649, this work purports to be his autobiography; although John Gauden claimed authorship later, authorship is still controversial. Cf. Columbia encycl., also Madan's note on authorship.
Place of publication from Wing.
Signatures: A-H¹².
Frontispiece engraving signed: Guil. Marshall sculpsit (Madan frontis. no. 22, 2nd state), is bound between A1 and A2; portrait of Charles II as Prince of Wales (Madan port. no. 8) is bound between pp. 150-151.
This particular configuration of states is not in Madan, F.F. New bibl. of the Eikon basilike, although combines points of Madan 34-35. Specifically, "Rom. 8" on the title page is in black (as in Madan 35), leaf A1 has device 'Sol et Scutum' with crown but is unsigned (unlike either 34 or 35).
