Notes | Mirjam Foot suggested binding perhaps made for Henri III, King of Navarre? (the text is dedicated to him). The "S fermé" on was thought to mean fidelity but is now believed to stand for 'esclavo' ie a slave to love. Initials H R R intertwined, surrounded by the S and the omega . Lower cover different design featuring two omegas and s fermes. Two Cs back to back. Smooth spine tooled in gold. | |||
