Bindings
Late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century German binding of pigskin over wooden boards. A section of the back pastedown has been lifted to reveal a leaf of vellum manuscript beneath. The upper board is blind-tooled with a border and frame of double fillets. The frame contains a repeating design of roses and stylised foliage enclosing a central panel decorated with fleurs-de-lys. Above the central panel is a row of six lozenges containing fleurons. Below the central panel is a row of six lozenges each containing a heart transpierced by an arrow. The lower cover is blind-tooled with a similar frame and rows of lozenges but with a central panel containing diagonal double fillets and four larger lozenges. Written directly on the upper cover in red ink manuscript is the title of the work: Decretales. The spine has four raised bands. Written in black ink manuscript directly onto the spine in the first panel: Decretales. Written in black ink manuscript directly onto the spine at its base is
the date: 1493. On the upper and lower boards are the remains of two decorated metal clasps with the catch on the upper board. There are four tabs on the fore-edge marking the start of each book. Size: 358 x 250mm. Leaf size: 345 x 231mm.
