Collector's Notes:
One of only three alum-tawed skin bindings in the collection, and the only example of a half binding in that medium. Considering the strong associations that exist for German bookbinding traditions with tawed skin and paste papers separately, it's curious, maybe, that there isn't more overlap.
Peep the manuscript waste envelope-folded board attachment leaves under the pastedowns, as well.
