Description
The binding is in poor condition but has been restored. The leather covering the spine is missing; the original clasps and their straps are missing; the leather covering the front and back boards is damaged and, in the case of the back cover, half missing; and the bottom headband is missing. Parts of the book block that are missing have been replaced by modern conservation materials that add bulk and enable the binding to retain its original shape.
