History
Italy?
The host volume belonged to Urban Stürmer (Sturmius), about 1523-1565, german poet, professor of the University of Königsberg (1555), conductor and cantor of the prince's Albrecht Hohenzollern chaple (see also Ob.6.II.376, 633, 684, 687, 4680, 4682, Pol.6.II.256). We can assume, that the volume (printed in 1558) was bound - covered with a parchment bifolium taken from Summae artis notariae - in Königsberg.
Urban Stürmer probably donated his book collection to the university library, which in 1810 was joined with the castle library, thus creating the Royal and University Library in Königsberg (1827-1944).
The host volume belonged to the library in Królewiec until 1944. 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 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.
