Provenance

Identified by David Selwyn as having belonged to Edmund Guest (1514?-1577), with pressmark, and marginal annotations in this and other items bound in the same volume. He suggests that it may have had a previous owner, based on the fore-edge titles.

Provenance

Salisbury Cathedral Library bookplate (20th century, large format) with design based on the Dean and Chapter seal, and inscription “Sarvm Cathedral Library.”

Binding

16th-century dark brown calf over paper boards; repaired July 1947; blind fillets and roll forming concentric rectangular frames on boards (roll identified by Selwyn as Oldham SW.3(3) 946, assigned by Oldham to London and by Pearson to Cambridge); spine with four raised bands, blind fillets, and with 20th-century lettering for author, title, and date; evidence of two pairs of ties at fore-edge; titles in ink on fore-edge; pressmark C4 on fore-edge; parchment manuscript waste used as pastedowns, now unstuck (identified by Selwyn as leaves from a 13th-century (probably English) manuscript of the Moralia in Job by Pope Gregory I).

Copy-specific note

Bound with five other works: Rivius, Quod sponsalia sine consensione et approbatione parentum facta, rata non debeant haberi (1540); Valliculus, De liberali Dei gratia (1536); Imlerus, In Ioannis, Iudae, et Iacobe Apostolorum epistolae (1542); Corvinus, Expositio decalogi, symboli Apostolici, sacramentorum &c.
