Provenance
Painted at the base of a4r is a coat of arms featuring three upright swords with grey hilts and red blades against a blue shield with a fleur-de-lys in gold above each hilt. There is a grey horizonal band across the sword blades. Scroll decoration in red extends from the top and sides of the shield.
At the base of a2r is a black circular library stamp: Biblioteca Magnani 1816. Città di Bologna. The book once formed part of the Biblioteca Magnani in Bologna, Italy, and probably came from the personal collection of Antonio Mangani which he bequeathed to the city in 1811.
Circular library label on the front pastedown with a number in black ink manuscript: 16. C.IV. 15.
Coloured armorial bookplate of Lord Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired after 17 June 1929 when Sir Edward Allen Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
