German silver binding, c.1700

Contemporary German silver binding patterned with flowers and scrolling foliage hammered into relief from the reverse side. The covers and clasps are hinged, and there are pierced text-block retainers at the head and tail. The endpapers are red and gold. The text edges are gilt. Created in Ulm c.1700; the city mark occurs on the lower turn-in of the back cover and on the lower clasp. Possibly bound by Johann Adam Kienlin (1661-1740).
