Title A name given to the resource Sauuage de Fontenailles en Brie, o additionnées, selon les modernes historiens, iusques à cest an mil cinq cens cinquante & sept. Description An account of the resource We see here not one but two ex-libris on the front endpaper. The second owner (or another person entirely) has scraped out the name of his predecessor, which was located below a coat of arms surrounded by the following motto: “Mallem Mori Quam Mutare” (Death before change.) Taking this into account, this is most likely the ex-libris bookplate of Walter Raleigh Gilbert (1785-1853), Es. Major General in the Honorable East Indian Company’s Service. The second ex-libris is that of Kenneth Rapoport, a modern collector of classical and scientific literature, whose collection has now been scattered to all corners of the globe.
