History

Origin

Teutonic Prussia?

Provenance

The host volume belonged to unknown Leonhardus Bruge[...] (entry on the title page: Ex dono domini Leonharti Bruge...). The owner donated a volume to the University Library in Königsberg (stamp "UB" on the title page).

We dont't know when the volume (printed in 1581) was covered with a parchment leaf taken from the missal. Than it belonged to University Library in Königsberg, which in 1827 was joined with the castle library, this is how was created the Royal and University Library in Königsberg (1827-1944). Then, 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 (among them the host volume) 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.

Persons and Institutions 1. Leonhardus Bruge[...]; 2. University Library in Königsberg; 3. Royal (since 1918: State) and University Library in Königsberg (1827-1944); 4. University Library in Toruń
