The Missel Romain didn't look at all like a German imprint to me and Weller confirmed my suspicion. It was actually printed in the Netherlands, i.e. Amsterdam (see Weller here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IdZSAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q=missel%20romain&f=false<https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IdZSAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q=missel%20romain&f=false>)

Happy Easter Break!

Kind regards,
Iris

After being startled that there's a book on How to Sharpen Pencils, my brain immediately started noting interesting features:

* Translation of a Latin work into French published in Germany
* Title page in red and black.
* Engraved image on title page.
* Engraved initial leaf.
* Bound in leather, possibly contemporary, edges possibly gilt
* Autographed by an English-speaking female owner (of a book in French published in Germany) ding ding ding ding ding ding
