With the dated (1599 ) manuscript ex-libris on the title page of the Cistercian Abbey of Saint Urban in Pfaffnau (near Luzern, Switserland). Tipped on to the inside of the front cover: a large woodcut ex-libris of Ulrich abbott of Sankt Urban. This could be either Ulrich Amstein (1588 - 1627) or Ulrich Glutz-Ruchti (1687 - 1701). The author Pedro de Ribadeneira was one of the first jesuits to follow the founder Ignatius of Loyola of whom he wrote the first biography. He was also involved in the foundation of the Jesuit order in the Southern Netherlands. He resided in Antwerp during longer periods. The Borgia biography was first published in Spanish (Madrid 1592). This translation into Latin by the Antwerp jesuit Schott contains also another work by Ribadaneire: his Pia Opuscula. The translator Schott must have met Ribadaneira at the university of Gandia (Valencia) where he teached theology during several years. This edition is rare and unknown to De Backer-Sommervogel. Belgica Typographica 6635. The finely preserved binding,can be assigned; thanks to the datable manuscript ex-libris , to a binder working for ; or a bookdealer selling to the Pfaffnau abbey ; or a binder working for the second abott Ulrichj (after 1687)..."‎
