Ink inscription at head of leaf 2: Liber Mag[ist]ri patricij paniter Secretarij Oratoris lepe[dissimi]. One of a collection of books taken in 1544 from Edinburgh by William Norris of Speke, who has inscribed the title page. The books remained in the library of Speke Hall, near Liverpool, until the estate came into the hands of Topham Beauclerk, who sold the contents of the Hall about 1777. They were bought by a Liverpool solicitor, Henry Brown, and at his sale in 1825 by Liverpool Athenaeum. The National Library of Scotland purchased the books from Liverpool Athenaeum in 2008.
Bound in blind tooled dark calf over wooden boards with modern reback, pastedowns and endpapers. With four clasp plates.
