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.

One pre-Herlufsholm owner left his signature on the title page, "P Horrebou". This is either Danish astronomer Peder Nielsen Horrebow (1679–1764) or his son Peder Horrebow (1728–1812). There are several other books from the Horrebow family in the Herlufsholm Collection. 

The binding is earlier than the recorded provenances. It is a 16th century laced-case binding with three double endbands, visibly attached. The boards are paste laminate made from printed waste, German as far as one can tell, which can be glimpsed where the boards meet the book block. 

This volume was restored by bookbinder Axel Pedersen (A.P. Kons) in 1976 according to a stamp on the back endleaf.
