The Book Switch Theory

[asteckley]

This book is shown on my web page as nr.4.

But your "Nr. 4" in your table is the VMS itself. Just to be clear, you meant to refer to "Sequence No. 4" in your table? That is the first row in this table from your web page.  (And the Nr. 4, which is Sequence No. 19,  is the VMS) :
   
But the library card that you posted above shows a date of 1604 (which is not shown in your table). This seems to be a problem. I think Anton pointed this out in a previous thread on the topic of such problems, but I don't think there was ever an explanation proposed. Why would the book be listed with a date of 1604 when Jacobus Hořčický was not enobled with the title until 1608? 

From what i understand, the library card is indicating (with the symbol immediately before the 1604), that he donated the book in 1604.  The library card was presumably written considerably later and so librarian may well have referred to him by his post-1608 name with the "de Tepenecz" enoblement. So that would explain that part easy enough. But the book itself also has his post-1608 name in it and it would have had to have been written in the book prior to his donating it in 1604. (Additionally, as Anton pointed out in that other thread, the Sequence No. 4 should logically precede the later book with Sequence No. 7 which had an even earlier date of 1602 associated with it.)  

How does any of this get reconciled?
