- Curator's comments
- According to the register, this very incomplete set of cards was taken from the binding of a volume that contained three publications by Johan Thanner, Leipzig 1512: they were Baptista Mantuanus, 'Calamitatum libri tres' and 'Parthenicae tertia', and Jurincus Presbyter, 'Immensam evangelicae legis majestatem'. The binding was said to be contemporary, and contained some leaves and manuscripts leaves of paper with astronomical drawings etc. See also Dodgson's report dated 29 December 1921.
