Frederick North (1766-1827), 5th Earl Guilford (see previous lot). Sold by Evans of 93 Pall Mall in 1828-1835, including this volume as part of lot 205 there (this lot no. on a small circular label on spine). 2. Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872; see previous lot): his MS. 5379 with his printed label on spine with that number, superseding an earlier collection label there of '211', and his hand adding "5379Ph" twice in pencil on endleaves. Acquired in the Guilford sale along with 1300 other Italian manuscripts from that collection, and later passing to the Robinson brothers of 16-17 Pall Mall (with their short description of the volume on thin blue paper included, with their stock no. 'A-2991'). Sold in the Phillipps' sale 4 July 1972, lot 1822. 3. Harry and Virginia Walton; their sale in our rooms 9 July 2009, lot 8. Text: Teodoro Ameyden (also Theodor van Meyden) was born in the Spanish Brabant in 1586 into a Catholic family. By 1600 he had travelled to Rome where he studied in the Collegio Romano, becoming an author of poetry and history as well as serving as Apostolic Datary and representative of the Spanish king at the papal curia. He died there in 1656. The opening of this volume identifies its source as a manuscript, apparently written by the author in 1734, in the "Biblioteca Cassanatense sotto il n o 283" (ie. the library of Cardinal Girolamo Casanate, d. 1700, in Rome; and in fact still there as their MS. 1335 [old signature 283, as copied over into the present manuscript]).
