Summary
A concern for provenance, details of those who, whether individuals or institutions, had owned books formerly, was no new phenomenon. Classical and antiquarian scholars valued books not just for their associations, but also for their annotations.Other names, written inside books, were noted much more rarely. The period saw a much wider interest in earlier ownership and use.
