History

Origin

Germany, like the host book?
Provenance

The host volume was printed in Erfurt, for a bookseller from Jena, in 1696. It has no ownership notes or ex libris. 
Persons and Institutions The host volume (a list of drugs available in Erfurt pharmacies in 1696) belonged to the Unitarian College of Cluj, although it lacks the usual ex libris. It was probably donated by a chemist from Cluj.
