History
Bamberg
Th host volume belonged to an unidentifiable library in 1671: "<sub rasura:> Inscrip<tus> ??? ??bergesium?" (title page).
The book subsequently belonged to Sigismundus, sacristan of the Catholic church of Cluj in the early eighteenth century. The ownership note reads: "Hic liber spectat ad Reverendum Dominum Patrem Sigismudum Claudiopoli Catholicorum? Sasellanum, cui Jesus ei tu sis, sis ut Jesus ei. Nota Bene hic versus legatur in retrogradu et idem erit perbellus.” (front flyleaf)
Finally, in 1832 the book was recorded at the library of the Catholic lyceum (title page).
