12021-04-19T17:04:29+00:00Coming to the Newberry1image_header2021-04-19T17:04:29+00:00This copy entered the Newberry collections at the latest in 1917, with the bequest from the renowned collector John M. Wing. It is unknown how the book came into the possession of John Wing, who donated it to the Newberry Library. The manuscript has three marks of ownership: An early nineteenth-century bookplate inside the front cover belongs to Tho[ma]s Carter, and pasted into the back cover is the ex libris of the renowned Chicago book collector John M. Wing, bearing the number 2956 and the designation “Old Corner Library.” A manuscript entry, “S. Schneiderlatte,” has been made in a German hand on lower right edge of the title page, directly above a word that is blackened out and illegible. The book very likely did not enter Wing’s collection until after the Great Fire of 1871 in Chicago, and although it may have entered the Newberry collections as early as the last quarter of the nineteenth century, it was certainly there at the latest by 1917, when the library acquired the Wing collection.
