History
Teutonic Prussia?
The host volume belonged to Urban Stürmer (Sturmius), about 1523-1565, german poet, professor of the University of Königsberg (1555), conductor and cantor of the prince's Albrecht Hohenzollern chaple (entry on the front pastedown: Urbanus Stormius M.[ariaeburgensis]), see also Ob.6.II.376, 633, 684, 687, 2054-2055, 4682, Pol.6.II.256. We dont't know when the volume (printed in 1537) was covered with a parchment leaf taken from the missal.
Urban Stürmer donated this volume (or his entire book collection) to the University Library, which in 1810 was joined with the castle library, thus creating the Royal and University Library in Königsberg (1827-1844).
In the years 1827-1944 the volume belonged to the Royal (ince 1918: State) and University Library in Königsberg. Then, as a result of the evacuation of the most valuable collections of the library and the change of state borders after the second world war, the evacuated books (among them the host volume) found themselves in the territory of the Polish state. In July 1946, by the decision of the Ministry of Education, they were transferred to the University Library in Toruń.
