Dear all,
I'm genealogist and here I will give my opinion on all this interesting research on book proveniance.
Here what I read and understand for the ex-libris of Jacobus Sinapius. I will split them into three groups :
** Jacobj à Tepenecz - N°4
** Jacobj à Tepenecz - N°19
- both ex-libris are written with the same hand.
- the name & number are, for each, written with the same pen and the same ink.
- it's writen in latein letters ('e', 'z')
- the N has a double-stroke
- there is an '°' after the N.
** Jacobi Synapij inscriptus Anno 1602 - N 7
** Jacobi Synapij anno 1602 inscriptus - N 18
- both ex-libris are written with the same hand.
- the name & number are, for each, written with the same pen and the same ink.
- it's writen in latein letters
- the N has a simple-stroke
- there is no '°' after the N.
** Jakuba z Tepeneze - N°40
- we don't clearly see the color of the ink for "N°40", put the pen may be another for the number and for the ex-libris.
- we don't clearly see if the N has a double-stroke.
- there is an '°' after the N.
- the person seems to be here Jacobus Sinapius himself.
I think in the whole collection of Jacobus Sinapius, there was at least 2 or 3 ordered sub-collections and this should explain why the books noted in 1602 and the "Voynich collection" have unordered (between) them chronological numbers.
Best regards,
