Binding noteContemporay Italian half brown goatskin over wooden boards tooled in blind by the Belluno bindery A, 2 three-line frames enclosing 2 borders of repeated impressions of a small pinnacle tool (Hobson tool 2), spine with diagonal fillets. The covering secured at the edge by a strip of leather nailed to the boards. Four original clasps with shaped decorated metal catchplates on lower cover. Single vellum flyleaf at each end; the vellum leaves seem to have been the wrapper for the book, in which it went to the binder; the first has the word "a fondello" written on it, and the book is half-bound. See:A.R.A. Hobson’s ‚The Pillone Library‘ in The Book Collector, 7, 1958, 28-37.

NoteThe Pillone Library, together with the family collections of pictures, medals, armour and relics of Lepanto, remained intact for three centuries at Villa Casteldardo in the foothills near Belluno until they were sold in 1874 in their entirety to the Venetian antiquaire Paolo Maresio Bazolle. The ordinary books were widely dispersed but those decorated by Vecellio were acquired en bloc by Sir Thomas Brooke in 1875: see A. TESSIER, Di Cesare Vecellio e de suoi dipinti e disegni in una collezione dei libri dei secoli XV e XVI, Venezia, coi tipi di G. Cecchini, 1875, p.12-13.
