    History

    Remarks

    The host volume belonged to the library of the Elbląg Gymnasium. Founded in 1535, the Gymnasium was the oldest school of this type in Prussia and, for that matter, the Kingdom of Poland. The library was established in 1601. Most of the collection passed into possession of the modern Elbląg Library.
