Bindings
Early sixteenth-century binding of full dark brown calf over pasteboard. The upper and lower covers are blind-stamped with a border and frames containing a running pattern of lozenges and small flowers. Gold-tooled on the the upper cover are the words: S. Avbert. The spine has three raised bands with blind-stamped triple fillets either side. Each panel is blind-stamped with diagonal fillets and a horizonal fillet to form a star. Holes in the upper and lower covers suggest that the book was once fastened shut with ties or clasps. Losses to the lower cover and head and tail of the spine have been repaired with a further loss to the head of the spine revealing the sewing and endband. Remnants of vellum manuscript are visible under the back pastedown and between leaves x8v and y1r. Size: 215 x 154mm. Leaf size: 207 x 146mm.
Bound with one other publication. Volume contents: 1. Gregory I, Pope: Dialogi, 1508. -- 2. Bruno, Saint, Bishop of Würzburg: Psalterium, 1497.
Provenance
Written at the head of the title page to the first work bound in this volume are words, crossed out, followed by: biblioteca Sti. auberti.
Coloured armorial bookplate of Lord Brotherton on the front pastedown. The book was most likely acquired after 17 June 1929 when Sir Edward Allen Brotherton was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield.
