noteRound stamp by the 'Medical Society of London' on the titlepage. On a front flyleaf a Wellcome library printed label explains that the book is a 'Medical Society of London Deposit'. Indeed, the incunabulum appears in the 'Catalogue of books contained in the Library of the Medical Society of London instituted a.D. 1773' (London, 1829), 213.

noteIn November 1964 an agreement between the London Medical Society and the Trustees of sir Henry Wellcome planned to deposit in the Wellcome Library the most precious books, due to conservative issues, cf. 'Books from the Library of the Medical Society of London: an exhibition 14 January to 3 April 1985' (e-book) and G.B. Woodd-Walker, 'The Society's Library', in 'The Medical Society of London, 1773-1973' (London, 1972), 89-104.
