A copy of De humani corporis fabrica by Andreas Vesalius (Basel 1555) in Królewiec in the collection of the Library of the Theological Seminary of the Warmia Metropolis “Hosianum” in Olsztyn

Summary/Abstract: The author made an attempt to analyse the origin of the book De humani corporis fabrica by Andreas Vesalius (Basel 1555) from the Library of the Theological Seminary of the Warmia Metropolis “Hosianum” in Olsztyn. In the course of research it was found that the volume belonged to Johann Zell (dates of life unknown) from Cologne and his son Heinrich Zell (1518-1564). Heinrich Zell was a librarian at the Prince Albrecht’s Castle Library in Königsberg. The book was then transferred to the Castle Library. In 1827, the book was placed in Königlicheund Universitätsbibliothek in Królewiec. This library changed its name in 1918 to Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Königsberg. After World War II, the book was placed in the Library of the Seminary in Olsztyn. The copy is in good condition. It was bound in the bookbinding workshop of Kasper Angler in Królewiec around 1560.
