History

Origin

Central Europe (Bardejov, Slovakia?). The five colligata were probably bound together in Bardejov, Slovakia, by Nicolaus Erhardi, editor of host vol. a, dedicatee of host vol. d, and owner of host vol. e. 
Provenance

Host vol. e belonged to a certain Engelhardus Faber ("Engelhardus Faber est possessor huius libri. Anno 1555", title page). The book was subsequently given to Nicolaus Erhardi, active in the 1590s ("Domino Nicolao Erhardi Bac.", title page). 

The earliest owner of the five colligata is Nicolaus Erhardi, 'ludirector' of the Gymnasium in Bardejov, s. XVI. On the tile page of vol. d, one can read a dedication by author Ioannes Bocatius, ludirector in Prešov: "Honoratissimo doctissimoque Domino Magistro Nicolao Erhardi Lüdichori Bartphano, meo colendo amico dono auctor." 

Nicolaus Erhardi probably ordered the five little books to be bound together in Bardejov.

The host book was in Transylvania in the 18th c., and was purchased in Sibiu by a certain Georgius Reszcyi? ("Geor. Reszcyi? Comparatus Cibinii Anno 1757', title page of vol. a).
