Features
Bindings
Late fifteenth-century binding of half calf over wooden boards. The leather on the upper and lower covers is blind-tooled with two lines of multiple fillets with stylised fleurs-de-lys and flower motifs to either side. In between the two lines of fillets are blind-tooled scrolls containing the word: Maria. The spine has three raised bands. Written in black ink manuscript on a paper lettering piece in the first panel are the words: Vocabularius Utriusq[ue] Juris. The remaining panels are blind-tooled with stylised fleurs-de-lys and flower motifs. The book has two decorated metal clasps with the catch on the upper cover, one complete and with the strap intact. The title is written in fifteenth-century ink manuscript on both the head-edge and the tail-edge, the former now indistinct. The title is also written in ink manuscript at the top of the upper board, now indistinct. The first blank leaf has been pasted onto the inside of the front board. Underneath the back pastedown is a leaf of
fifteenth-century rubricated vellum manuscript with marginal annotations. The head and tail of the spine are damaged and the endbands are partially visible. Size: 303 x 215mm. Leaf size: 292 x 207mm.
Provenance
Coloured armorial bookplate of Sir Edward Allen Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired before 17 June 1929 when Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
