Notes | Stamped MEMENTO on upper cover, and MORI on lower cover. Macchi states; mid-century, France. The central medallion shows the head and shoulders of a bearded man (Tarquin) wearing a fashionable hat. Only three English bindings produced for Thomas Wotton are decorated with a similar medallion (M. Breslauer Inc., Catalogue 111, p. 86-89). Such an example is owned by the Cambridge University Library (G. D. Hobson, Bindings in Cambridge libraries, p. 68-69, pl. XXIII B, on The Lamentation of a Synner, London, Whitchurch, 1547 et alia; shelfmark Syn 8.54.100. Small round medaillon heads were popular on French and English bindings. Followings are known to this scholar: Lvcretia-Mars; Dido-Plato; Plato-Dido (smaller); Plato-Dido (bigger), Dido-François I on printings between 1527-1548 in Paris, Basle Geneva, London, Edinburgh. | |||
