Binding noteBound in two volumes. Leather on boards, in a 16th-century Spanish Renaissance style. Blind-tooled covers with rolls forming two concentric rectangles. The motifs in the center of both volumes have been scraped or carved, likely a former owner's mark. Spines (rebacked in early 19th century) with three double supports; author, title and volume number in second compartment; printing place and year in third compartment. Single blind tools decorating the spine. Parchment flyleaves at the end of first volume and the beginning of the second. Binding style and tools are similar to those of Huntington copy 85192.
