Summary
Bibliographic description
[20], 226, [2] p., plates : ill. ; fol. Running number: 6012. Provenance: manuscript code on front pastedown: "mu / n". Manuscript initial on front fly-leaf: "M." [i.e. catalogue code of John Mitchell (ca. 1685-1751), librarian to Sir Richard Ellys (1682-1742)]. Manuscript price in pencil on front fly-leaf: "12s 6". Jacobean armorial bookplate (Franks 24354) on verso of title page: 'E Libris Roberti Pye de Clifton Campville in Com: Stafford: Baronetti' [i.e. Sir Robert Pye (1696-1734), of Clifton Campville in Staffordshire. Succeeded in 1724 as 4th Baronet. His great uncle Robert Pye (ca. 1620-1701) married Anne, daughter of John Hampden, and thus the Pye family were distantly related to Sir Richard Ellys, which perhaps explains the book's presence in Ellys's library]. Binding: seventeenth-century full sprinkled calf (rubbed); sewn onto six raised bands; blind double fillet border, with small blind cornerpiece stamps; gilt floral roll pattern along board edges; gilt title label on spine. Red and blue sprinkled edges.
