From the library of the German diplomat Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg (1875-1944), one of the conspirators against Hitler. From 1922 to 1931 Schulenburg served as German envoy to Iran. His handwritten ownership is dated "Tehran, 1928"; his bookplate is on the front pastedown. For his involvement in the tragically failed plot of 20 July 1944, Schulenburg was executed on November 10.
