This binding displays (together with D'Elci 968) a large gold frame with fleurons in the corners.

NoteD'Elci made a provision, in 1818, to donate his books to Florence. In 1824, after his death in Vienna, the collection was moved back to Florence, and eventually, in 1841, the books entered the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana.
