Description

France, 1785. (36.8 x 24.4 cm). 92 bluish leaves of laid paper [numbered 40-59, 59(bis)-132], all but a few blank. = A so-called Makulatur-Einband, or Pergament-makulatur (parchment waste), made in the 18th-century, using 16th-century vellum. Leaves 57 (verso), 58, 59, 59(bis), 60 (recto), 61, 62, and 68 (recto) with annotations in an old hand (ca. 1785-1786). All other leaves clean. In front, a number of leaves have been removed, probably 39 leaves, assuming pagination started with 1. Pagination is consecutive, apart from the erroneous double use of 59. The elegant, almost geometric patterns of the binding make this a particularly attractive piece.
