Notes
Book binding
Binding: Blind-tooled brown calfskin binding, contemporary with the manuscript, restored back. Size: 300 x 220 x 80 mm.
Brown calfskin binding over square edged wooden boards (type [a], cfr. Szirmai 1999 p. 219). Later recovering of the back late 19th or 20th century. The covering is worn, loose and partly missing around endbands and at corners of the boards, the joint is cracked at the lower part of the upper board. Two engraved hook-clasp fastenings at fore-edge, engraving: ma[u or ri?]. Hook-clasp and leather strap of upper fastening missing. Lower anchor plate of later date, new nails. Worn and partly damaged manuscript titles on paper labels in top compartments and manuscript library code on paper in one of the lower compartments of the back. Primary wound endbands with secondary cross-stitched embroidery (type IV fig. 2.24, cfr. Szirmai 1999, p. 208-209). The endbands are worn and the embroidery partly missing. Trimmed edges, squares at head and tail. All along sewing on three double split leather thongs laced through the boards. Some of the bands are partly cracked at the joints of the upper board. Endleaves missing.
The covers are blind-tooled with double fillets into a large frame and central panel. The frame is stamped with an inscribed curved ribbon tool into a partly irregular undulated and crossed pattern; the corner compartments contain a large rosette placed in a square made of the same ribbon tool. The central panel is stamped into repeated ogival compartments with pomegranates in the centre. The back is blind-tooled with double fillets next to the bands.
Decoration
