    Binding note
    ExI copy: Binding: Contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over thick wooden boards, sewn on 4 split tawed thongs: from Kyriss shop K162 'Phoenix', which Hummel & Wilhelmi (Katalog der Inkunabeln in Bibliotheken der Diozese Rottenburg-Stuttgart.

    Provenance
    • ExI copy has stamp of Bibl. Buxheim as well as ownership inscription and shelfmark: H 419..
    • ExI copy inscribed on front free endpaper: "Ti[tulus] Franciscus Petrarcha de contemptu mundi et via solitaria / Contenta / Liber Cartusiensium in Buchshaim prope Memmingen / proueniens a confratre nostro domino Hilprando Brandenburg / de Bibraco donato sacerdote continens ut superius / Oretur pro eo et pro quibus desiderauit."
    • 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].
