Provenance
ExI copy has stamp of Bibl. Buxheim as well as ownership inscription and shelfmark: H 419..

The Carthusian convent of Buxheim was dissolved in 1803 and the books became the property of Graf von Ostein, passing to his sister, Gräfin von Hatzfeld, in 1809, and then to their cousin, Graf Friedrich Karl Waldbott von Bassenheim, in 1810; the books were finally sold in 1883 by Graf Hugo von Waldbott-Bassenheim (1820-1895) [auction at Carl Förster, Munich, 20 Sept. 1883].
