Armorial bookplate of the Le Gendre family of Bourgogne, marquis of St Aubin from 1652. The arms shown on the bookplate do not include a coronet, but the coronets on the spine suggest that the book was either owned by Gilbert-Charles Le Gendre (the only Le Gendre marquis de St Aubin), or that the volume remained at the chateau de St Aubin after his bankruptcy and death in 1746.
Provenance
Booklabel of Nicolas Mann, recording donation to Eton College in 1754.
