History
The incunabulum was printed in Strasbourg.
The first documented owner of the host volume is Joachim Stegmann (1595-1633). Stegmann was a German theologian and became rector of the Racovian Academy in Raków, Sandomierz Voivodeship of Lesser Poland. Note on title page of first text: "Ex libris Joachimi Stegmanni".
The volume reaches the Unitarian library in Cluj in the seventeenth century. An undated ownership inscription appears on the same page: "Ecclesiae Unitariae Claudipolis".
The last inscription notes the book's return to its owner: "E libris Generosi Domini Sigismundi Nagy restitutus die 5a Maij 1812". Zsigmond Nagy (1860-1922) was a Hungarian theologian. He studied in Budapest, Utrecht, and Strasbourg. He was a teacher at the Gymnasium in Debrecen. He worked on establishing churchly ties between Hungary and the Netherlands, and tried to spread the Calvinist movement in Hungary.
The volume was cataloged by the Academy Library in Cluj in 1965: "ACADEMIA R.P.R. / FILIALA CLUJ / BIBLIOTECA / NR. U. 63261 1965" (stamp, last page).
