Baudrier, H.L. Bib. lyonnaise,
The title page is inscribed in a mid-16th century hand "Adamus Episcop[us] orchaden[sis]". This would be Adam Bothwell (1529?-1593), the Bishop of Orkney. Bothwell had a large and fine library, which was listed after his death. Armorial bookplate of "Robert Graham" on the front pastedown. This indicates Robert Graham (d. 1815), 12th laird of Fintry, whose son Colonel John Graham (1778-1821) was the founder of Grahamstown, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
