Regrettably not. That said, there are some minor printing errors relating to the numbering of the different books which add to its charm. In terms of marginalia, there is a 1590 edition of the FQ located in the Bodleian, which has marginal notes throughout the second book; indeed there seems to be a entry beside virtually every verse. Yet mysteriously, they then end abruptly midway through the tenth canto. Fascinating.

You lucky man! It's amazing how many Spensers are out there. Is yours annotated? It's the annotations that I love even more than the books themselves. I did tell you that when I bought my 1609 Spenser (the one I had to return because it had been stolen, although not by the bookseller) the seller said, when I asked about marginalia, "Only a few pencil marks and those easily erased."
