Bibliographic description
155 [i.e.154], [2] leaves ; 8vo. Running number: 2941. Provenance: small book number label on front pastedown: 'D' [printed in red] / "179" [in manuscript black ink]. These inventory or shelfmark labels are characteristic of books from the library of Louis-Henri de Loménie, comte de Brienne (1635-1698). Count Loménie de Brienne's library was sold in London in 1724, where Sir Richard Ellys (1682-1742) undoubtedly purchased it. Manuscript inscription on verso of front fly-leaf facing the title page: "Stephanus (Rob) Censures" [i.e. title and catalogue entry note, written by John Mitchell (ca. 1685-1751), librarian to Sir Richard Ellys (1682-1742)]. Binding: seventeenth-century mottled calf; double gilt fillet border; gold-tooled spine; gilt title lettered directly onto spine. Red sprinkled edges.
