16th century?, Italian: dark brown leather, simply blind-tooled with double lines around the edges and also forming a large blank diamond-shaped panel on each cover; no allowance for the boards’ clasp fittings.
18th century, Italian: paste-downs and flyleaves of carta bassanese added for Jacopo Soranzo, whose label is at top of spine. 103 73 c. 47 (book closed).
