In the Goodyercollection there is a parchment cover that was used to hold loosepapers, which bears evidence to the association, for inside is writtenRondclet de Febribiis. It may have originally served to containnotes taken by Lobel at Rondelets LOBEL. Some ten years later we find Lobcl living in England.
