Canzoniere

Canzoniere

This image depicts the bookplate of Bernard Coleridge, 2nd Baron Coleridge. If the name Coleridge sets off the ringing of bells, it should, as Bernard’s grandfather was the nephew of famed English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). While it cannot be proven that the book was handled by the famed poet, an inscription the inner flyleaf does say “bought in Padua” in 1814, which was during Samuel’s lifetime. The bookplate depicts what is surely the Coleridge’s family library in Chanter’s House, Devon, England.
