The use of different colours of leather...Thank you. The use of different colours of leather seems odd to me if they were added for the purposes of the sale. Also, it is notable that the books bequeathed to the British Museum (and thus not passing through the saleroom), also have the bookplate.Peter Kiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798182942786604505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-16011476449035478832023-02-02T15:27:29.698+00:002023-02-02T15:27:29.698+00:00Stephen Parks, in his introduction to "The El...Stephen Parks, in his introduction to "The Elizabethan Club of Yale University and Its Library" (Yale UP, 1986), p. 20, states that the label was added for the posthumous sale. He provides no evidence for this; perhaps it was common knowledge at the time, but I haven't been able to turn up any information on-line. Even if that was the case, an older "Henry Huth" label might well have been removed at that time. But it seems strange that De Ricci would not have mentioned this (nor did William A. Jackson annotated De Ricci's comment, in his heavily annotated copy of De Ricci's work).John Lancasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-51270639049438554222018-07-01T17:28:03.143+00:002018-07-01T17:28:03.143+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lew Jaffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603257574856745356noreply@blogger.com
