Bindings


Nineteenth-century binding of full red morocco over pasteboard. The binding is by M.M Holloway of London whose name is printed at the foot of the front pastedown. The upper and lower covers are blind-tooled with a border of double fillets. The spine has five raised bands decorated each side with blind tooled-double fillets. At the head of the spine is a row of double fillets and at the base are two rows of double fillets, all blind-tooled. The board edges are blind-tooled with a single fillet. Gold-tooled on the second panel are the words: Antonii de Florentia Summula Confessionis. Size: 218 x 166mm. Leaf size 212 x 152mm.

Provenance
