Scholtz, Hieronymus, 1723-

Description

This is the bookplate of Hieronymus Scholtz (1723 - after 1807), a deacon and preacher at the church of St. Elizabeth at Breslau (Wrocław).

This is one of his two bookplates that appear in the Brisman Collection. It was made by an unknown engraver and features Scholtz's initials “H.S.” The initials are etched onto a shield which rests against sweeping grasses. At the top of the bookplate is a Latin inscription which reads “Vratislavia[e] ad aedem S. Elisabete Diaconus, 1772,” meaning "Breslau at the Church of St. Elisabeth, Deacon, 1772.”

This is one of at least eleven different bookplates, seven of which were engraved by Johann Bartholomeus Strachowsky the Younger of Breslau.
