GREGORY IX, POPE
Footnotes
The binding is decorated with four tools, comprising: rectangular, 6 x 10mm., hound pursuing boar; lozenge-shaped, 26 x 20mm., flower; lozenge-shaped, 20 x 15mm., rose between four fleurs-de-lys; round, 7mm., rosette. These are not traced, and together with the early provenance, suggest that the binding may be from an unrecorded workshop.
Provenance: Vellum leaf pasted inside the lower cover with recipes for the colic and the stone, and copies of documents relating to the parish of Hanwell and to the monastery of St. Mary at Wroxton in the Diocese of Lincoln dated between 1491 and 1528, all written in early English hands; Sir John Cope, 6th baronet (1673-1749), of Hanwell Castle, bookplate; George Dunn (1865-1912) of Woolley Hall, near Maidenhead, bookplate and pencil notes including acquisition in December 1902 and price-code; his sale, Sotheby's, 26 November 1917, lot 3212; Sotheby's, 28 May 1992, lot 24.
