    History

    Origin

    Italy (wrapper); Central Europe (pastedown and spine lining)
    Provenance

    The host volume was used towards the end of the sixteenth-century by an owner from the Șumuleu Ciuc, Co. Harghita or, less likely Șimleul Silvaniei, Co. Sălaj (Somlio) in Transylvania: “Anno Domini 1586 emptus erat d. 34 hic liber Somlioniae erat emptus” (f. v9v).

    The next owner was Matthias Felnemethi: “Matthyas Felnemethj suo Georgio amoris ergo” (f. a2r). According to the Catalogue of the Jesuit seminary in Olomouc, he was at the college in 1600.

    The book was at the Jesuit College of Cluj in 1604: “Collegii Societatis Jesu Claudiopolitani 1604” (f. a3r).
