We've seen this bookplate on several digitization requests @LindaHall_org recently, @JECumby and I are charmed by it. It is the bookplate of František Fischer, and here's a thread about who he was & how we put a name with this bookplate. #rarebooks #speccolls #histstm #histastro 
We often see bookplates and cannot suss out whose they were. I took a go at "Mag. F. Fischer" in the googler, and came up with a catalog from Jeff Weber that identified Fischer as an astronomer from Prague. Now we have something more than a name! weberrarebooks.com/media/home/Cat…
There is also this MS (Oversize Ms. Codex 618) at Kislak (fyi, @leoba ): franklin.library.upenn.edu/catalog/FRANKL…
