Notes Remnants of bosses and clasps. Bound in Nuremberg, 1505, Kyriss, Verzierte Gotische Einbande im Alten Duetschen Sprachgebiet, Stuttgart, 1951, shop 120. With ms ownership notes by Kress and the Milan lawyer Michele Cavaleri (born ca. 1813, died ca. 1875), collector and founder of a museum in Milan c1873/74 (cf. Needham, IPI; Michele Cavaleri: Il Museo Cavaleri e il Municipio di Milano. Milano 1875) who purchased this book at Nördlingen. The book may have been sold at Nuremberg after Kress’ death in 1513 to a local humanist with strong relations to Nördlingen, probably a man like Johannes Protzer (ca. 1480-1528), cf. Geiss, Petrarca, p. 163? British Library records the book's acquisition in 1898 by the English bibliographer William Carew Hazlitt. This fits in with the former owner being Cavaleri. The Berlin, SB, copy of Cavaleri: “Il Museo ...” (Berlin, SB, 4 Ns 9360) bears a handwritten donator’s mark by the author dated 1878; so the Petrarch might have been sold after Cavaleri’s death and the dispersal of his collection around 1878 or a little later. The missing sig. q 2, 3, 6, 7, which are supplied in MS, were probably added by a professional scribe in Venice. Thanks are due to Dr. Jürgen Geiß-Wunderlich of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin for this information.
