Note: the ownership inscription "John Dobie's Book..." may possibly relate to a forebear of John Dobie, Scottish linguist (1859-1894). Dobie was a noted Hebrew scholar and was Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages at the University of Edinburgh. Dobie died young, the only fatality in a railway accident occurring near Newtonmore, Highland. He is memorialised with a stained glass window at Ladykirk Parish Church.
