Leaf numbers supplied in black ink manuscript at top right of rectos.

Bindings
Early twentieth-century binding of wooden boards and a brown pigskin back. The spine has three raised bands. Gold-tooled in the second panel are the words: Marius Philelphus Epistolae. Gold-tooled at the base of the spine: Venice 1492. In the third panel is the Brotherton Collection stamp in gold. The base of the spine is fragile and at risk of becoming detached. Size: 222 x 163mm. Leaf size: 211 x 155mm.
Provenance
Circular black library stamp at the base of the first leaf A1r containing a fleur-de-lys and surrounded with words, mostly indistinct but for: Fiorent[...].
Next to the library stamp at the base of the first leaf A1r is another oval stamp containing the monogram MD.
Small black and white 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.
