Notes Macchi states; 133 examples are recorded, 5 of which are held at the Musée Condé (Chantilly, France). The colour of the leather varies depending on the subject. Theology, philosphy, law and history were bound in red morocco, medicine and botany; in citron morocco, literature in olive. With their small size in 12mo, they represent very likely a travelling library, mostly with a humanistic content. (One hundred and seventy-six historic and artistic book-bindings, p. 61, on Officium beatae Mariae Virginis, Paris, Ioann. Mettayer, & P. L'Huiller, 1597; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, A picture book of bookbindings, part II, pl. I, c. 1572, shelfmark L2240-1913). This decoration was adopted again in France and England in the form of the retropective style or pastiche by the workshops Thibaron-Joly (1863-75) and Charles Lewis (Barber - Rogers) (active from 1786 until 1836).
