[Dated ms. ownership inscription of the Alsatian humanist Beatus Rhenanus (1485-1547). In 1517 he was resident in Basel, Switzerland (and had just broken off his previous working relationship with the printer Johann Froben; cf. his exchange with Erasmus in letters nos. 594 and 628 in The Correspondence of Erasmus: Letters 594-841, ed. R.A.B Mynors and D.F.S Thomson (Toronto: Toronto UP, 1979).) After his death Rhenanus's library passed almost completely intact to the Humanist Library of Sélestat, his hometown. Cf. "Beatus Rhenanus's Books", an English translation of an article which first appeared in Histoire des bibliothèques françaises, tome 1: Les bibliothèques médiévales du VIe siècle à 1530 (Paris: Promodis, 1989), p. 298-301.
