Remarks

The book is bound in the typical Oxford style of the late 16th/early 17th century. The dark leather binding is decorated with a blind-tooled double frame with ornamental corner stamps. In the middle of the frame sits a lense-shaped centrepiece, assigned the number iv by Neil Keir, who states it was not in use before 1600. According to a note bought in Oxford for 6 solidi of 25 September 1671. An ownership inscription on the title page was cut out.

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. This book is part of a donation made to the school by count Otto Thott (1703-1785), who became warden of the school in 1763 until his death in 1785. Well-known for his book collecting, he gave about 6000 volumes to Herlufsholm’s library in several shipments beginning in 1777. Thott bought many books in Oxford, where he studied for a time in the 1720s.
