| Binding: | 16th-century blind-tooled calf. The front cover is decorated with fillets to form four concentric rectangles: the inner rectangle is decorated with three vertical lines of a repeated foliate stamp; the second rectangle is undecorated; the third rectangle is decorated with a foliate roll; and the outer rectangle is decorated with a roll of rope-like pattern and with separate foliate stamps. The rear cover is likewise divided into four concentric rectangles: the inner rectangle is decorated with a repeated vine-like tool with tendrils (Rautengerank) to form characteristic pointed oval shapes, each filled with a separate fringed foliage ornament; the second rectangle is undecorated (though with some overlap on two sides from the ornament of the inner rectangle); the third rectangle is decorated with a foliate roll; the outer rectangle is decorated with a stamp of a five-petalled flower. Two chased brass clasps (one lost), chased catch plates on front board. Grey paper tabs separate each work. Restored and rebacked c.1985 by Ian Maver (restoration binder, Special Collections Department, Glasgow University Library), with new endpapers and flyleaves; original spine covering lost; original front pastedown put back.
