History

Origin

Venice, printed by Andreas Torresanus

Host Volume

Title Herdesianus, Christoph, Consensus orthodoxus sacrae scripturae et veteris ecclesiae [...]
Date of Origin/Publication 1578
Place of Origin/Publication Zürich, apud Christoph Froschauer (II)
Remarks

Simple, flexible laced-case binding with three double endbands made from low quality parchment with several holes and tears. Of two sets of laces to tie the book block shut, only one survives. It was restored by bookbinder Axel Pedersen (A.P. Kons.) in 1975 or 1976 according to a stamp on the back pastedown. The book is overall in bad shape, with worn edges and a sizeable hole in the title page.

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.
