bindingNoteEarly 18th century venetian binding; calfskin over wooden boards, richly blind-tooled boards and spine. Probably bound while in the possession of Giacomo Soranzo. Quite damaged: several wormholes and portions of calfskin missing on the spine, front board detached.
Binding described in Biblioteca Casanatense, Legature antiche e di pregio, sec. XIV-XVIII. Catalogo, a c. di P. Quilici, Roma 1995, vol. 1, nr. 1261.

noteProbably acquired after Soranzo's death in 1761. Surely before 1788, as it's listed in G. B. Audiffredi, Bibliothecae Casanatensis Catalogus librorum typis impressorum, Roma 1788, vol. 4, p. 210b (online: http://cataloghistorici.bdi.sbn.it/dett_catalogo.php?IDCAT=200 ).
Label pasted against the front pastedown, crossed out. A circle inscribed in a square ; text along the frame of the square: Regia Biblioteca Casanatense Roma ; former shelfmark in the circle.
Label pasted against the front pastedown and on the spine. Cartouche in the top half carrying the text: Bibliotheca Casanatensis Romae ; a tower (Casanate's heraldic figure) in the bottom half.

stampsNoteOval stamp in black ink on [a4r] (first folio): coat of arms of cardinal Casanate in the bottom half (a tower surmounted by a star) and of the Dominicans in the top half (a dog carrying a torch, surmounted by a star). Text running along the frame, starting at the top: ‘Bibliothe. A Card. H. Casan. D. O. Praed.’. Stamped before 1884.
Smaller stamp in the gutter of [c9r] (fol. 28r, according to the foliation in pencil): a tower surmounted by a Marian star, and the initials H. C. C. (standing for Hieronymus Casanate Cardinalis). Stamped after 1884.
