Notes third quarter century, Paris, Maioli binding, group VII (G. D. Hobson, Maioli, Canevari and others, p. 79-80, n. XXXI) bound by the Royal workshop (Atelier du roi) (M.-P. Laffitte - F. Le Bars, Reliures royales de la Renaissance, p. 205, n. 106b). The border decoration, consisting in arabesques over a gilt dotted background within volutes, is reminiscent of the "mille points" one, used during the XIX th first quarter century on English (Maggs. Bros. Ltd., Bookbinding, p. 134, n. 265; 142, n. 272; p. 144, n. 274) and French bindings (R. Devauchelle, La reliure, p. 175; Y. Devaux, Dix siècles, p. 211- 213). Reproduced in: W.Y. Fletcher, Foreign Bookbindings, pl. 64; M. Foot, History of bookbinding as a mirror of society, fig. 68; H. Helwig, Handbuch der Einbandkunde, p. 177, pl. 64; R. R. Holmes, Specimens of Royal fine and historical Bookbindings, pl. XIX. Typical for French Renaissance bindings, the ?three quarter of a circle tool (see C.19.g.7., C.66.b.7., Davis 375).
