NoteFloruit. The sign of ownership is the confident late-sixteenth century bookplate of the Augustinian Canon Valentinus Schnotzius, or Valentin Schnotz, ‘Canonicus et Senior Herriedensis’ (Herrieden in the Diocese of Eichstätt in Bavaria). Schnotz appears to have owned a substantial collection of books. Ilona Hubay identified 20 incunabula still at Eichstätt, which carry his bookplate, and there is another in the Bodleian.
After his death, his book collection appears first to have gone to the Hofbibliothek of the Prince-Bishops of Eichstätt. The inscription at the bottom of Schnotz’s bookplate intimates that it was given away in 1662 – an act confirmed by the ownership inscription on title page of the index, which states that it was in the possession of the College of Jesuits at Eichstätt in 1662.
