EDIT: Nope, the ’e’ and ’c’ are most definitely wrong. It doesn’t seem to be Melior either. This does look like a Hermann Zapf face though. Maybe it’s one of his own Palatino knock-offs.
I agree with Lex. This is Zapf Book. The Medium weight is a good guess because of the ’t’ being rather clipped-looking on the top. The heavier weights have a funny spike at the top of the ’t’. It’s hard to predict the effect of added stroke thickness unless you try it, but I think Lex got it spot on.

I’m thinking this is ITC Zapf Book Medium with a bit of a stroke added.

Or Zapf’s Comenius Antiqua strangely blended with Zapf’s Melior
