The numbering is a bit of a mystery indeed.
Much suggests that he added his ex libris as soon as he obtained the book, but the numbering was added some time later.
The handwriting and the inks do not clearly confirm this suggestion, but it is still possible.
I should find the time to put (back) the proper diacritics in the various Czech names and book/article titles in some of my pages......
Many of them were corrupted as they were first added in pre-Unicode (rather: pre-Windows-98) times.
The correct form of his surname is Horčický, even though, if I understand correctly, in his lifetime these diacritics were not used.
The "à" is not the Czech "and" but the noble "from", that should be (or derive from) Latin.
