Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam… >< ...Et alter venit dicens: “Domine, mina tua, quam habui repositam in sudario; [timui enim te, quia] homo austerus es: tollis, quod non [posuisti] [Lk 19, 12-21].

History

Origin

Teutonic Prussia?

Provenance

The host volume belonged probably to the Prince Albrecht's Hohenzollern castle library in Königsberg and then, in the years 1827-1944, to the Royal (then State) and University Library in Königsberg. On the reverse of the title page it has the stamp "Bibliotheca Regiomontana".
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 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.
