Bindings


Late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century German binding of full blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards. The upper cover is decorated with two lines of quadruple fillets forming a border and a frame. In the frame to either side is a repeated pattern of roses and stylised foliage. Inside the top of the frame are four lozenges containing an eagle. Inside the bottom of the frame are three lozenges containing a gryphon or winged lion. The central panel is decorated with a pattern of stylised foliage. The lower cover is decorated with two lines of quadruple fillets forming a border and a frame. In the frame to either side is a repeated pattern of stylised foliage. Inside the top and bottom of the frame are three lozenges containing a gryphon or winged lion. The central panel is decorated with a design of diagonal double filets inside which are roses and lozenges containing a gryphon or winged lion. The presence of nails and fading to the pigskin show that metal furniture was once been
attached to the corners and centre of the upper and lower covers. Nailed to the covers are the remains of two decorated metal clasps with the catch on the upper cover. An ink manuscript inscription on the upper board reads: Bonauenture sup[er] t[ertiem] & q[uartem]. The spine has three raised bands. In the first panel is a paper label with details of the edition in black ink manuscript: Bonaventura in III et IV sentent. Nuremb. 1491. There is a library number written in ink manuscript at the base of the spine: C 7 22. A leather tab attached to the fore-edge marks the beginning of part 4. Damage to the head and tail of the spine reveals the endbands. Size: 322 x 230mm. Leaf size: 303 x 208 mm.
