About this Item

Title

  • Exposicio mistica super exod[um].

Summary

  • Early bindings in their original appearance are quite scarce. This spectacular survivor is made of white deerskin over boards of thick leather, now buckled. The stamps are place in vertical rows, within a border of small cross circles on the upper cover and of narrow rectangular vine stamps on the lower. Not all the stamps are clearly enough impressed for identification, but several of them are of familiar type dragons, stags, etc.
