History

Origin

Teutonic Prussia?

Provenance

The host volume may have belonged to the castle library, founded by prince Albrecht Hohenzollern (1529). In the years 1827-1944 it was owned by the Royal (then 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.

Persons and Institutions 1. Prince Albrecht's Hohenzollern castle library in Königsberg?; 2. Royal (since 1918: State) and University Library in Königsberg; 3. University Library in Toruń
