Description
An English binding, ca. 1584, tooled in blind in very dark brown calf, with the arms block of Queen Elizabeth I stamped on both covers. This is a presentation copy to Elizabeth, probably from the London bookseller authorized to import scholarly works from the Continent. While the queen favored exclusively fabric bindings for her private library, she will have received many leather-bound gifts during her long reign.
