Provenance
Beneath the title on the title page (A1r) is a seventeenth-century inscription in black ink manuscript: Jure hæred: me possidet Christianus Seidel 1664.
A second inscription in black ink manuscript, eighteenth-century, below title on the title page (A1r) reads: Ge. Ludov. Oederus.
A third inscription on the title page (A1r) in black ink manuscript reads: Ex liberalitate R[everen]di Do[mini] M. Davidis Stemleri Archiediaconi Neustadiensis ad Orlam possidet hunc libru[m] Abrahamus Seidel Pastor in Daumitz.
Inscription in black ink manuscript on the verso of the last leaf ([et]8v) reads: Hunc librum dono mihi dedit. venerabilis vir Dominus Georgius Baumöll, tunc temporis animarum procurator in Wettin. Anno Restauratae salutis 1554 [...]. Spes salusq[ue] Christus.
Small black and white armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
