Register or Login to view.What I thought back then was that the most likely explanation for the various ex librises was that the numbers were all added later, whereas the dates were all added closer to the time of acquisition. This is at least physically testable. :-)
Is there any evidence that would indicate that this is wrong?
There are differences in style - some N's have two cross-strokes, some have just one. The hands, quiils and inks of th enumberings look corresponding to their respective exlibrises, instead of being uniform for all numbers.
