hdslibrary:Bottoms UpA leaf of parchment containing a Latin text in tiny script was used to cover this early 17th century printed book. As you might be able to see, the leaf is upside-down compared to the text within, and a previous owner has stamped a monogram and coat of arms in gold right over some poor scribe’s hard work!A tear in the leaf reveals even more printed “waste” underneath.Pierius, Urban, 1546-1616.

Nicolaum Krell gehalten: Fürgebrachten Newen Religions streiten: eingestrewten falschen beschüldigungen vnd vnerfindlichen Vnklagen / gestellet durch Vrbanvm Pierivm, D.
