Evidence
"Several of the volumes bear the signature of a certain S. Ismail, all dated 25 April 1860 (see Fig. 2). Who was this person? ... Ismail, who was a former pupil, printer and bookbinder of Benjamin Keasberry."
Remarks
The Frankfurt set used for the study was bound in one volume and belonged to missionary Emil Lüring. (p. 183). The binding is identical to other books in Lüring's collection, indicating it was bound in Singapore on his behalf. (p. 183-184).
