Sotheby’s 1856 lot 138. STC R33966.

Unlocated. NOTE: Copies at Cambridge University Library, the Hunt Institute, and the British Library do not bear any provenance related to the 1856 Wolferstan library sale. ESTC erroneously lists a copy at the Sutro Library in California, but a librarian confirmed in 2017 that no record of the book exists in “the California State Library’s Online Catalog, the California State Library’s pre-1960 card catalog, the Online Archives of California, WorldCat and the National Union Catalog pre-1956.”
