Provenance
Circular book stamp on a2r of the other item bound with this work: Museo Cavaleri. This is the stamp of Michele Cavaleri (ca.1813-ca.1875), lawyer and founder of a private museum in Milan.
Coloured armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
