Binding Note
Later type II (with flap) binding in brown leather over paper pasteboards. Both covers are similarly tooled with a central panel defined by fillets with knot work in each corner and a central roundel filled with a geometric interlace. The frame consists of fillets and a running pattern. Brown leather doublure. Re-backed. Traces of a now wanting envelope-flap. Apparently 14th or 15th cent.
