Summary
Bibliographic description
5 v. ; fol. Vols. 4 & 5 bound in 1. Binding repair has revealed early manuscript notes in vol. 1. Illuminated manuscript vellum fragments found backing original endpapers mounted inside back boards of vols. 1 & 5. Provenance: Titlepage inscribed: "Ex Lib. N. Cocquelin Cancellarij Ecclesiae & [?] Paris. Doct. R. Soc. Sorb", in a sixteenth-century hand.. Provenance: Armorial bookplate of 'Richard Banner Esqr.' Banner remains a somewhat enigmatic figure, but it seems that many of his books were purchased for Shugborough as a job lot in the eighteenth century (for which see library Collection Level Survey). Provenance: Armorial bookplate of: 'Thomas Anson Esqr. Shugborough' (printed in black ink); presumably Thomas Anson, 1st Viscount Anson, (1767-1818), though this plate seems to have been pasted into many of the books at Shugborough, and is not necessarily reliable evidence of provenance.. Binding: Sixteenth-century gold-tooled Groliersque binding, with unidentified sixteenth-century armorial stamp; rebacked, and with additional gilding added to edges of boards.
