Author:

Imprint Date:

1706

Publishing Colophon:

Strena. Anni Incarnationis Dominicae M. DCC. VI. Typis Joannis Michaëlis Kleyer, Univ. Typog.

Binding:

Quarter parchment with brocade paper over scaleboards.

Paper:

Brocade: negative floral, fruit, and acanthus design with gold over multi-color stenciled paper

Collector's Notes:

The brocade paper turns in irregularly over the pastedowns and overall the covering fits the textblock rather wonkily. Perhaps it was intended as a sort of repair covering to consolidate a partially loosened or damaged binding, probably over another quarter parchment binding based on the ledge visible/tactile underneath the present covering.
