Bindings
Nineteenth-century binding of dark brown goatskin over pasteboard. The upper and lower covers are blind-tooled with a border and frame of triple and double fillets and at the centre two interlocking motifs. The spine has five raised bands with blind-tooled double fillets to either side of each. Gold-tooled in the second panel are the words: Fasciculus temporum. Gold-tooled at the base of the spine is the date: 1477. The other panels contain a single blind-tooled ornament. The turn-ins are blind-tooled with a repeating pattern of stylised foliage. The pastedowns are of marbled paper featuring the spot pattern in red, yellow, green, blue and cream. Most of the marbled front free endpaper has been cut away and the textblock has become detached from the spine and boards. Size: 275 x 205mm. Leaf size: 265 x193mm.
Provenance
On the front pastedown is the bookplate of Charles Leeson Prince, dated 1882.

Book label at the bottom of the front pastedown: From the library of George Dunn of Woolley Hall near Maidenhead.
