History
The host book was printed in Basel in 1557.
One of the first owners of the host volume was ..., note on front pastedown: ”Sum Georgii Schomanni dono Joannis Balcerowy?. Anno Christi Nati 1579”.
At the beginning of the 17th century the volume was in the possession of Valentinus Radecius; note on front pastedown: "Nunc vero Valentini Radekii, Liberalitate Generosi Domini Stanislai Lubieniecii, Anno 1601, 12 Januarii” and note on title page: ”Valentini Radecii Gedanensis”.
"Valentinus Radecius (? –1632) was a Unitarian priest of Polish descent. He was born in Gdańsk, studied in Raków, was a schoolmaster in Lusławice, then a Unitarian rector in Cluj [from 1605], a pastor from 1607, and a Unitarian bishop of Transylvania from 1616 until his death.” (Sándor Előd Ősz, Bibliotheca Calviniana Transylvanica.
