Binding Details
Contemporary brown calf binding, with blind- and gold-tooling on both sides and spine. Left and right sides re-backed onto restored spine.
On both sides, a triple fillet blind-tooled border, now very worn; arms of James I gold-tooled in centre, surrounded by the garter and surmounted by a crown. Identical armorial tool to that used on RCIN 1051933 (Add B 12.9).
Spine completely restored, in lighter brown calf. Divided into six compartments by raised bands, with gold-tooled fillet to either side of bands; second compartment tooled in gold with the title: 'FLORIOS ITALIAN DICTIONARY'.Provenance
Probably acquired before 1860.
