Quarto, overall 20.5 x 16 cm (8-1/16 x 6-5/16 in.), the pages 19.7 x 15.2 cm (7-3/4 x 6 in.). Covered in contemporary limp wrappers crafted from top portion of medieval vellum folio of rubricated double-column semi-quadratic Gothic script (3-1/2 columns with top 18 lines over 15.5 cm, width of leaf 24.7 cm from gutter sewing stabs to one edge, columns 8 cm), portion of one leaf folded over as a fore-edge flap, interior of flap faced with top recto portion of one column of an early double-column printed and rubricated paper leaf (columns 8 cm, 37 partial lines over 17 cm). Spine with two raised bands, pasted paper number label at top. Blank pastedown rear; front pastedown entirely covered by pasted paper Troilo armorial bookplate. Three separate early inscriptions, on front free endleaf recto, Regius title and rear free endleaf verso. Four pages with neat minuscule marginalia and underlining in old brown ink at beginning of Pomponius. Old mold spotting commencing in quire H of Pomponius and continuing to end; 5 mm wormhole in rear cover, 20 mm wormhole in rear binder s blank, diminishing and disappearing in quire M of Pomponius; minor toning and spotting of pages passim; covers soiled, rubbed and edge-worn; edge splitting at bottom of front cover and at top and bottom of spine. Else in very good condition for its age and evident shelf use. Collates: Regius: 100 (of 102) ll. in fours [Variant A, as at New College, Oxford, BCNR, SBB, ThULB and Paris-Mazarine, without the presumably after-issued Errata B1r and B2r]; Pomponius: [2], LXVII, [1] ll. (complete); [1 l.] + [1 l.] binder s blank front and rear. Provenance: 1. inscription dated 1566 "To G[.] Zerda[gelius?] Manu propria | D.D.D.D. [Donum Dat Dicat Dedicat] | Joa: Zerda[gelius?]" front free endleaf recto; 2. inscription in a different hand (for or by one of the foregoing to the other), dated "20 [inserted sketch of (?) fox head] Septembris | 15 E. 67" over initials "z[er]. G. I. M-E. Z" ["E" in the year and "M-E." below probably "Egregiae Memoriae"], over "Joannes Zerda[gelius?], Ungarus Natione | Manu propria," followed by three distinct verses "Qui Nescit pati, Nescit Dominari. (Hungarian axiom)" | "Omnis homo Mendax, Solus deus Verax." (cf. Ps. CXV, 2; Rom. 3:4) | "Si deus est A[ni]mus, Nobis vt Carmina dicunt." (incipit Cato major); 3. Franciscus Godefridus Troilo in Lessot ("Sac. Caes. Mtis. Consiliarius") (Franz Gottfried Troilo von Lessoth, 1583-1648), his large woodcut armorial bookplate inside front cover; 4. [probably to Julius Heinrich, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg (1586-1665), father of] 5. [Maria Benigna Francisca of Saxe-Lauenburg (1635-1701), m. Ottavio Piccolomini, 1st Duke of Amalfi (1599-1656), by descent]; 6. by whom bequeathed to the Scholarum Piarum in Schlackenwerth, Bohemia: "Ex libris Principissa[e] Piccolominia[e] Bibliotheca[e] Slacoverdensis Scholaru[m] Piaru[m]" [inscription on Regius title]; 7. [from the Scholarum Piarum (Piaristenkloster Maria Treu), disbanded in 1876, probably to Stadtbibliothek Schlackenwerth, Ostrov until 1910]; 8. [then probably dispersed by Gilhofer und Ranschburg, Wien]; 9. George Parker Winship (1871-1952, librarian of the John Carter Brown and Widener Libraries), and by descent through his grandchildren. The first two inscriptions, evidently a 1566 gift inscription and 1567 memorial inscription, have an emphatic Hungarian nexus. The bifolium cover is not mere waste but a carefully fitted binding, a perception reinforced by the two-column printed and rubricated paper leaf neatly pasted on the reverse of the vellum, bare on the fore-end flap, else covered carefully with a blank pastedown. In the first column of the leaf covering the front an invocation of Mary Magdalene is followed by an introit to Saint Apollinaris, fixing the text in the Proper of the Saints for July 22 and 23. Purely speculatively, the parent breviary may descend from a chapter of an Apollinaire church dependent on Vladislaus II of Hungary circa 1500.…
