Description:
|
Ownership inscription in bold writing: 'Istud volumen [ha]bemus ex parte domini Hermanni de Hammons ad albas dominas. [Re]quiescat in pace. Amen' The 'albae dominae' can be identified as canonesses or Norbertine Sisters of the Praemonstratensian Order. The name of the donor of the book, Herman de Hammons, or Hamberg (Homberg), suggests that the canonesses belonged to the Praemonstratensian Abbey Hamburg that still exists in a suburb of that name in the town of Duisburg (about 55 km north of Cologne on the Rhine).
