Provenance: Albert Ehrman (Broxbourne Library), bookplate, and blue stamp ("AE"), and pencil inscription ("Horae on paper are uncommon. A.E"). Ehrman (1890-1969) was a diamond merchant who dated the start of his incunabula collection to "shortly after the end of the First World War, when we were living[...] at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire" following the acquisition of a Venetian incunable from 1492 in its original binding. In 1978, part of the collection was presented to the to the Bodleian Library, through the Friends of the National Libraries, by John Ehrman, and is now known as the 'Broxbourne Collection' (see Albert Ehrman, 'Contemporary Collectors II: The Broxbourne Library', The Book Collector, 3, 1954).
