| Ownership | On the cover is a note saying that the book belongs to "my wife" and is dated [15]93. It is uncertain who exactly this "wife" is. The first leaf is signed in a slightly later hand P. E. G. v. Hohenlohe who is most probably Philipp Ernst count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1584-1628). He was the son of Wolfgang, Count of Hohenlohe-Weikersheim, (1546-1610) and Magdalena of Nassau-Katzenelnbogen (1547- 1633), a sister of William of Orange and it is presumably Magdalena who was the first owner of this book. |
