Joannes Patius for Commelinus

1616

This is a classic example of the style of binding that Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc preferred for the books in his very extensive library. It was created either in Paris or in Aix-en-Provence; if the latter, the binder was Simon Corberan, whom Fabri de Peiresc brought down from Paris. The double monogram consists of his initials in Greek (Ν Κ Φ).

Gift of Leonard L. Mackall, 1928.
