Produced for Gilbert and Mary Talbot, the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury; earl's coronet in binding indicates that it must date to after November 1590 when Gilbert succeeded as the 7th Earl of Shrewbury. Book probably passed to one of their three daughters. 19th century inscription "Dimsdale" written on inside of front cover. Remains of a bookplate on front pastedown of Mortimer Loeb Schiff...
