Binding
18th century ?, Italian, perhaps all a re-creation of the late medieval quarter-binding style: wood boards with narrow inside bevel; brown leather stretching nearly halfway across each bare board (no nails), the spine cross-hatched with blind single lines, the sides tooled with blind quadruple lines in four panels; two fore-edge clasps with brown leather straps, running to shaped brass catch-plates on back cover with simple engraved patterns. 222 143 c. 18–20 (book closed). Comparable but not identical to bindings of MSS. Canon. Ital. 27, 96, and 129.

Purchased by the Bodleian in 1817
