LCN: 13908959
Copies:
B-314(1)
First copy
Bound in four volumes, of which the Bodleian possesses only vols 1, 2, 4.
Binding: All volumes bound in nineteenth-century blue morocco over wooden boards (probably original); rebound for the Bodleian Library (although Sheppard asserts ‘Kloß rebinding, no doubt'). Parchment index tabs.
Size: Vol. 1: 500 × 340 × 100 mm; vol. 2: 500 × 335 × 115 mm; vol. 4: 500 × 336 × 97 mm.
Size of leaf: 468 × 316 mm.
Bibliographical note by Kloß on front pastedowns of vols 1 and 2.
Initials are supplied in red, blue, or interlocked red and blue, some with extensions into the margins. Paragraph marks supplied in red. Capital strokes in red. ‘Glosa ordinaria' on upper edge of vol. 1, ‘Prophete et Psalmi' on upper edge of vol. 2.
Provenance: Bernardus Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden (1457-1523); signature on front endleaves of each volume.
Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Bavaria, Conventual Franciscans, S. Ludovicus; inscription on a1r of vols 1 and 2, and on f1r of vol. 4: ‘Fratrum Minorum Coventual[ium] Gamundiæ'.
Georg Franz Burkhard Kloß (1787-1854); bibliographical note in his hand on front pastedown of vols 1 and 2.
Purchased for £12. 12. 0, see Library Bills (1829-32), no. 93, Payne and Foss, A Catalogue of Books Printed upon Vellum (London, 1829), no. 127, and Books Purchased (1829), 3.
It appears that the Library bought a set containing vols 1, 2, and 4, now the first copy, in 1829, and then a second set containing vols 2,3, and 4, now the second and third copies, in 1831; at that point, vol. 3 was removed, and added to the first copy, making up a complete set.
In the ‘full set', all four volumes are in the same blue morocco bindings: Sheppard says that these bindings are ‘no doubt' Kloß bindings; however, according to the Payne and Foss catalogue, from which vols 1, 2, and 4 were purchased, they were in their original bindings when sold.
This implies that the three volumes from the 1829 sale and vol. 3 from the 1831 sale were all rebound by the Library when the set was created: pastedowns with Kloß's notes must have been raised very carefully to avoid damage.
There is no evidence to suggest that Kloß owned either of the other two Hildesheim books.
