Citerne, 26 Oct. 1835); the Bodleian copy of the Heber catalogues contains annotations in red ink of the prices paid by Heber for many items; a note signed by H[enry] E[llis] states that they, as well as the prices in black, are based on the copy of the catalogue of Payne and Foss, `presented by Mr H Foss to the Library of the British Museum in 1851'; although Ellis maintains that the entries in red are derived from notes in the books concerned, this does not always seem to be the case; Thomas Rodd's bills to the Bodleian for the sale are kept at Library Bills (1837-8), no. 7.
AnmerkungRichard Heber (1773-1833); note on a slip of paper attached to the recto of the front endleaf: 'The present edition is so scarce that Ld. Sp[encer] had it not till he bought the Duke of Cassano's collection, in which were two copies (the present, wanting the last leaf containing the Register). No other copy is known in England'; see Catalogue, 6 (1835), lot 1911, for £6. 6. 0.

ProvenienznameSpencer, George John (1758-1834), 2nd Earl Spencer, 1758 - 1834 British Ambassador to Vienna, Whig Cabinet Minister; see DNB; Contributions Towards a Dictionary of English Book-Collectors [pt III, Oct, 1892, by Michael Kerney]; de Ricci, English Collectors, 72-7; Anthony Lister, `George John, 2nd Earl Spencer and his `Librarian', Thomas Frognall Dibdin', in Bibliophily, ed.

William Baker and Kenneth Womack, DLB 184 (Detroit, Washington DC, and London, 1997), 413-18; Spencer's books included the library of Count Reviczky, q.v., purchased in 1790, and that of the Duca di Cassano, q.v., purchased in 1819/20; some duplicates were sold at his anonymous sale: A Catalogue of the Duplicates of a Nobleman's Library consisting of Rare Editions of the Greek and Latin Classics of the 15th Century &c (London: Leigh and Sotheby, 20 Dec, [1798]; other duplicate sales were held in 1800 (26 May), 1802 (3 Apr.), 1804 (6 June), 1811 (16 May), 1815 (9 May), and 1823 (5 June); Cassano (and other) duplicates were subsequently sold at the following sales: A Catalogue of Rare and Valuable Duplicates from the Library of the Rt. Hon. Earl Spencer, K. G. (London: Evans, 2 Mar. 1821); the Bodleian copy of this catalogue is fully annotated; Catalogue of a Portion of the Library of the Late Duke di Cassano Serra (London: Evans, 18 Dec. 1826): [includes some incunabula purchased by the Bodleian]; Catalogue of a Portion of the Valuable Library of the Rev. Daniel Lysons, The Duke of Cassano (London: Evans: 17 Mar. 1828); some volumes have the coat of arms of Spencer and his countess, Lavinia Bingham (Spencer, impaling Bingham quartered with Turberville), stamped in gilt on both covers, and the motto, `Dieu defend le droit': this is illustrated in Davenport 354-5, but incorrectly described there as being Bingham quartered with Smith; a second stamp (not in Davenport), bearing Spencer's own arms alone, surrounded by the Garter and surmounted by an earl's coronet, is occasionally found (for example, on P-375); accession numbers, from 1 to above 20,000, were inscribed in ink on the verso of the upper cover of the binding or of the front endleaf, in the upper left-hand corner: see de Ricci 77; these numbers are often cancelled and followed by the letter `D' or `d', presumably for 'duplicate'; in some cases a `duplum' symbol was used instead, and seems occasionally to appear on its own, without the accession number; for Spencer books now at John Rylands University Library, Manchester, see Anthony Lister, `The Althorp Library of Second Earl Spencer, now in the John Rylands University Library of Manchester: its Formation and Growth', Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, 71 (1989), 67-86; also P.
