Note
Leendertz 128; Van Eeghen/Van der Kellen 386; Haitsma Mulier/ Van der Lem 235b and De Buck 2301 (both listing other editions). First vol. with early 19th cent. pen annots. on recto and verso of 2nd blank signed by P. van Musschenbroek. Almost certainly this is Petrus van Musschenbroek (1764-1823), legal officer in Utrecht, fervent bookcollector, member of "Maats. v. Ned. Letterk." and correspondant of the "Tweede Klasse v. h. Kon. Ned. Inst.". He spent much time studying Dutch history and founding a large collection of books on (legal) history and Utrecht. After his death the collection was sold in Leyden (1826). BWN VIII, 366.
