Summary/Abstract: Founded in 1945, the University Library of Lodz currently holds about 28,000 old prints, including twenty-one incunabula. Most of the collection came to Lodz immediately after the war, from former German collections in Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia. From Pomerania comes a very interesting private collection: the library of Peter Kameke (1541–1614), which was originally housed in a small church in Lassehne (today: Łasin). In this article, I describe one of the books from this collection in terms of provenance and reconstruct its journey through various libraries over the centuries. Using its example, I also analyze the various functions the book performed in the old days.
