Scripti versus manu Philippi... czyli o albumie przyjaźni z wpisem Filipa Melanchtona ze zbiorów Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie
Scripti versus manu Philippi... or the Album Amicorum with an Entry by Philipp Melanchthon from the Collection of the University of Warsaw Library

Summary/Abstract: Early printed books are valuable artefacts not only because of their content but also for the annotations inscribed on their pages. The album of friends presented in the paper is a Wittenberg edition of the psalms in Martin Luther's translation from 1551, with annotations by the praeceptor Germaniae Philipp Melanchthon and other well-known reformers of the sixteenth century, as well as laypersons affiliated with the court of the dukes of Pomerania. After discussing individual entries, we attempt to identify the owners of the book and outline the circumstances under which it found its way into the collection of the University of Warsaw Library.
