MS. Canon. Liturg. 99

Binding

16th century?, French?, perhaps not the original binding since the edges are trimmed too close to and badly cropping the major illuminations: wood boards with inside bevel. Re-covered with new red velvet, late 19th or 20th century, Bodleian; the earlier plain red velvet covering and worn spine are preserved inside, showing traces of two lost fore-edge clasps (filigree?). Edges gilt, with possible faint traces of gauffering; paste-downs and endleaves of coarse, 16th-century paper. 216 × c. 135–6 × c. 45 mm. (book closed).
