Well, strange things can happen in libraries when the curator's back is turned!
Seriously, it would be good to have some more detail about the circumstances surrounding the discovery of this copy, just for the historical record. On the linked page, Rene says that "The ex libris in book 1 was found by A. Sulzer." But did Sulzer find it personally, or was it one of his production team who brought it to his attention, or was there a tip-off from someone inside the library... etc., etc.? I know it only features very briefly in the TV documentary, and I'm not suggesting that anyone associated with the programme had any hand in forging it. But further details on how it came to be discovered would certainly be of interest.
