[BINDING]

"Unusual 16th century blind-tooled pigskin binding on wooden boards with a large panel with "Grolieresque" design on both sides surrounded by a candelstick-roll and fillets, back with 5 raised bands"
€500 - €600

on: Tractatus de successionibus, tam ex testamento, quam ab intestato, diversorum clarissimorum iurisconsultorum. Coloniae Agrippinae, J. Gymnich, 1590. 8vo, [62], 948 pages. For an almost similar panel see von Arnim, 'Europäische Einbandkunst aus sechs Jahrhunderten. Beispiele aus der Bibliothek Otto Schäfer 1992, nr. 70: a somewhat later panel (1594) by "Meister des Jacob Andrea". The previous owner attributed the binding to Barthel Metzger- a bookbinder from Dresden - due to an identical panel he found (back slightly rubbed, a well preserved copy)
