MS. Canon. Liturg. 322
Summary Catalogue no.: 19411
Physical Description
Binding
A composite binding of early boards, reused with later leather:
14th century, late, or 15th century, Italian: wood boards with inside bevel, and an indentation under the later leather at centre fore-edge (inside), perhaps from a fitting for a single clasp. Fols. 133–134 were perhaps the endleaves for this binding: a discoloured bifolium containing fragments of Disticha Catonis (II. 5–III. 9) and of a Latin grammatical text, 14th century, Italian.
18th century, Italian, a standard style of the Canonici collection, reusing the earlier boards: lightish brown diced leather, blind-tooled with lines and rolls to form two outer frames and an inner diamond shape without centrepieces; no clasp(s) allowed for by this leather; blue and white marbled endleaves; edges plain. 253 × 167–171 × c. 50–56 mm. (book closed).
