Description
Brown calf blind-tooled in a panel and saltire pattern, with catches & clasps and five brass bosses on each cover, 1476 or later. The binding was created for the Benedictine abbey at Mount St. George (Georgenberg) in the Austrian Tyrol. The front cover is also decorated with a variety of small tools, some attributed to South German shops in the early 1480s. The binding is in strikingly well-preserved condition.
