£3 3s. 13 ALBUM AMICORUM formerly in the possession of one, Leonard Faber, a German resident in London, apparently attached to the English Court between the years 1598 and 1612. Whatever his position he persuaded the most prominent German visitors of the time to inscribe their names in his album with, in many cases, their coats-of-arms (of which there are 45) in colours, some of them being heightened in gold and silver. There are also three portraits in colour, one being of Queen Elizabeth (with the amusing inscription in German verse commencing "This is a virgin of England, a kindly beauty..."), another of James I. and the third of an unknown man. Among the more important and interesting signatures are those of the Ambassador of the Elector Frederick, 1605. (p. 48) [ Wilhelm, Duke of Curland; of at least three different Dukes of Pommern; Ernst Frederick, Count zu Gall und Reifferscheid; Carl zu Manderscheid Friederich, Comte de Solms; Hanns von Rebintiz; Hans Saurma von Jeltch; Conte Reibnitz; W. di Redern; Baron zu Puttbus; W. Matthia di Kunigsperg; J. E. O. ST. FUGGER (almost certainly a member of the famous family of merchants and bankers); M. von Slawata; G. von Scharffenberg; H. A. von Buerckheim; R. von Luezeelburg. There is also a signature which, allowing for the difficulty of deciphering the script of the time, seems almost certainly to

be that of a Boerries von Muenchausen, a signature identical with that of the famous living German poet. A. von Dieppnbroick. A typically graceful inscription of the period is

"A touts les dames servir

Mais pour une seule mourir."

The volume is bound in contemporary calf with the device of the original owner, his initials and the date 1608 Stamped in gilt on back and front. Although the pages are numbered from (1) to 338 there are actually only 304 pages. On the second leaf, besides the autograph of Lenard Faber, the origina! owner, are those of Fredericus Faber, 1630; the initials of Jonathan Hardy to whom it was given in 1778 and the autograph of Mary Hardy to whom, in his turn, he gave it in 1802. It seems likely that the Faber family to whom this originally belonged is identical with that of Faber du Faur, still a prominent name in the Almanach de Gotha.
