    History

    Origin

    Central Europe
    Provenance

    The host book belonged to Valentinus Radecius/Walenty Radecy, who inscribed his name on the frontispiece ("Valentini Radecy Gedanensis Denariis 80").

    "Valentinus Radecius (? –1632) was a Unitarian priest of Polish descent. He was born in Gdańsk, studied in Raków, was a schoolmaster in Lusławice, then a Unitarian rector in Cluj [from 1605], a pastor from 1607, and a Unitarian bishop of Transylvania from 1616 until his death.” (Sándor Előd Ősz, Bibliotheca Calviniana Transylvanica.

    The volume subsequently belonged to the Unitarian Church in Cluj ("Ecclesie Unitariensis Claudiopolitane", frontispiece of host book).
