Mnišovský's report

[davidjackson]

I've always wondered if the Raphael comment was simply an attempt by a previous owner to give some authority to the book.
After all, it seems strange to mention that the book was valuable to an emperor without mentioning how you legally came to possess it. If someone told me that they were going to give me a book that, for example, Franco paid a lot of money for, my first question would be: how the devil did you get hold of it?
