Local Notes:

Penn Libraries copy imperfect: leaf F6 (blank) wanting; map (folded plate) wanting. A folded plate containing this map, possibly from this copy, is inserted at the end of Georg von Reichersdorff's Chorographia Transyluaniae (Vienna: Aegidius Aquila, 1550) (GC5 R2714 550c).

Penn Libraries copy bound with (i.e. has bound in between leaves B1 and B2): Werner, Georg. G. Verneri Consiliarii et Praefecti Regij Arcis Sarospotackh Hypomnemacion de aquis in Scepusio ... [Vienna : s.n., not after 1551?].

Purchased for the Penn Libraries in 1956. Rudolf Hirsch conjectures that this volume, as well as a copy of Georg von Reichersdorff's Chorographia Transyluaniae (Vienna: Aegidius Aquila, 1550) acquired by the Libraries in the same transaction, was disbound from a Sammelband owned by Sigismund von Herberstein. Cf. R. Hirsch, "Georg Wernher and Sigismund von Herberstein," Gutenberg Jahrbuch (1963), p. 121.
