r: ‘Impre||umVenetiisper Bernadinum Benalium.’Binding: Sixteenth-century (second half) dark brown Italian(Venetian) blind-tooled goatskin over thick wooden boards bev-elled inwards. Two clasps hinged on the upper cover lost. Onboth covers ¢llets form frames mitred at the corners; within theinner frame is an ornamental roll. Further ¢llets form an innerrectangle containing a large £euron at each corner, and, in thecentre, a lozenge-shaped compartment is formed by intersectingquadruple ¢llets containing the £euron repeated four times; anacorn at each corner; above and below this compartment is a cir-cular £oral ornament contained by four quarter-circles.Thebind-ing is sewn on three bands, which alternate on the spine with fourfalse bands, the latter decoratedwith diagonal lines in gilt. Blind-

tooling in the compartments of the spine.The title has been addedin white paint along the spine from foot to head, ‘HIST VENITBERN IUSTINIAN’; another title in gilt has been added on thelower cover, ‘BERNARD. IUSTIN. DE GESTIS VENET.’ Theedges of the boards are decorated with one or more ¢llets inblind. Mottled edges. Triple multi-coloured headbands.Pastedowns and one free back endleaf (not wrapped round the¢rst or last leaf). Watermarks: front, ecclesiastical hat (cf.Briquet 3418: Padua 1536, Brescia 1579); back, anchor in circlebelow cross (not in Piccard, Anker). In spite of the convincingtitle on the lower cover, there are reasons to suspect that the bind-ing did not originally belong with this copy of the book: the copydoes not ¢t the binding, being too wide at the fore-edge and tootight in the spine.Wooden boards are unnecessary and extremelyunusual on a book printed on paper by the second half of the six-teenth century. The mottled edges, multi-coloured headbands,and endleaves fromdi¡erent paper stocks, which are notwrappedround the ¢rst or last gathering in the normal way, are all suspi-cious features, suggesting that this copy is a rembo|“ tage. It has cer-tainly been altered, and the pastedowns are laid down overmodern paper. The Crevenna catalogue records only ‘v’ (veau),which may or may not describe the binding now present.
