Description
  • Comoediae: Phormio (London: Richard Pynson, [1497])
    Fifteenth-century parchment and textile laminate long-stitch binding, the lower board extending to form a fore-edge flap. Cover turn-ins, the perimeter sewn with zigzag stitching in white thread. Binding sewn in three phases. Phase I (manuscript only): long-stitch in blue thread through cover. Internal and external parchment reinforcement guards for each gathering. Phase II: Phormio sewn, using long-stitch in white or pink thread, after leaf 76 (ult.) of manuscript, anf before stubs of two further leaves with external guard. Each gathering of the incunable contains blank parchment reinforcement guards. Text block of Phormio untrimmed, retaining deckle-edges and pin-holes, an indication that this is its first binding. Phase III: the first three gatherings of the manuscript resewn with long-stitch in white thread, with different parchment internal and external guards from a twelfth-century manuscript woth twelfth-century musical notation.
