Notes | Byzantine. 16th-century binding of dark red stamped leather on wooden boards with two thongs, and a Greek style spine. Round this is a broad border composed of identical triangular stamps juxtaposed and forming a continuous band. The design on these stamps is a lion's head surrounded with foliage. At the edge of the binding is a border formed in the same way as that of the centre panel, but with roundels in the middle of each side as well as at the corners. A rather similar binding is found on Add MS 12182. | |||
