Binding notePlain dark blue paper boards with leather spine label. The presence of a Greek motif on the spine suggests that the binding was done for Gennadius. The fact that it is not a particularly luxurious binding may be connected to the fact that it was probably done during wartime, though the binding might actually be earlier.
