| Notes |
With the emblem of the monastery of Ettal on the upper cover and the arms of Abbot Placidus Seitz on the lower cover. Traces of 2 pairs of clasps. Comb-marbled pastedowns. The coat of arms "corresponds to armorial number 3, the largest of the armorials listed in P. Bonifaz Schmalzl (Ettaler Einbandkunst, in: Festschrift zum Ettaler Doppeljubiläum, p. 189): "Wappensupralibros von Abt Placidus Seit: [...] Größe (size) 62 x 52 mm = 3". It probably was in use some time after 1730, but it isn't dated and the books aren't a reliable source of dating. The armorial features a new design of Seiz's coat of arms, but it is nearly identical with number 2, which may mean 3 was used for larger volumes and 2 for smaller ones." Thanks to Randall Herz for the preceeding information. Macchi states; Bound c. 1710-1730 in Ettal by Gregor Kühne. |
