Notes | Traces of 2 pairs of ties. Macchi states in reference to the similaly styled Davis423; third quarter century, France. The simple decoration does not seem referable to Francis II (1559-1560), husband of Mary Stuart as dauphin. Other examples are reproduced in Catalogue of a collection of early French books; Gumuchian Libraire, Paris, Catalogue XII, Belles reliures du XVe au XIXe siècle, p. 21-22. n. 37, pl.
