    Remarks

    The host volume belonged to Herlufsholm Skole, a private Latin school located in Næstved, Sealand founded in 1565 on the grounds of a secularised Benedictine monastery, St Peders Kloster. The old library of Herlufsholm was transferred to the University Library of Southern Denmark in 1968-69. This book is part of a donation made to the school by count Otto Thott (1703-1785), who became warden of the school in 1763 until his death in 1785. Well-known for his book collecting, he gave about 6000 volumes to Herlufsholm’s library in several shipments beginning in 1777. According to a note on the title page, this volume was located (bought?) in Augsburg on 3 July 1586.

    The 16th century half-leather binding of German origin (possibly Augsburg), is blind-tooled with a portrait roll depicting the reformers Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, and Jan Hus. It was restored by bookbinder Axel Pedersen (A.P. Kons.) in 1976 according to a stamp on the back endleaf.
