Bindings
Late fifteenth-century binding of full brown calf over wooden boards. The upper and lower covers are blind-tooled with a border of triple fillets and diagonal fillets forming lozenge shapes. Inside the lozenges are twelve blind-tooled rose motifs connected to the border with double fillets. The spine has three raised bands and is blind-tooled with a design of stylised foliage. The book is fastened with two decorated metal clasps with leather straps, the catch on the upper cover. Bound at the beginning and end of the book next to the boards are strips of vellum music manuscript decorated in blue and red. Losses to the head and tail of the spine have been replaced. Size: 301 x 223mm. Leaf size: 291 x 215mm.
Bound with 2 other publications (and with MS 104 [139 leaves of 15th century theological materials in Latin]). Volume contents: 1. Herolt J: Sermones discipuli, 1478. -- 2. Giovanni d'Andrea: Super arboribus consanguinitatis, 1477. -- 3. Saint Thomas Aquinas: Tractatus sollemnis de arte & vero modo predicandi, 1477.
Provenance
Written on the back pastedown in black ink manuscript, sixteenth-century, is a long note relating to the family of a previous owner of the book, whose father died in 1525 and whose brother Michael died in 1532.
On the recto of the final leaf is an oval-shaped purple library stamp, rubbed out and now indistinct.
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.
