Joannes de Westphalia. Louvain. Butrio (A. de) Speculum de confessione folio. Joannes de Westphalia. Louvain. Brown calf. Four bands. “ Fifteen. century binding with small dies and foliate tools. The reddish dyed leather used for this binding appears to be confined to bindings executed in Cambridge.”—MS. note by Duff. ** [Panel enclosed by two three-line fillets about half an inch apart, the space between them decorated with a stamp of a leafy stem used repeatedly and a square stamp of a dragon at sides and in the small compartments formed by the fillets (intersecting) at the corners, at top and bottom by a diamond-shaped stamp of a unicorn reguardant on a background of foliage; the space between this border and the edge of the sides decorated with a lozenge-shaped stamp of a quatrefoil with four fleurs-de-lys. The interior of the panel divided by intersecting two-line fillets into diamond-shaped compartments each containing a stamp, an elaborate fleur-de-lys, a conventional floreate stamp, or the unicorn stamp described above, all diamond-shaped. The metal catches remain but the clasps are missing. In very good con- dition. ] Printed by J. Davy & Sons, Ltd., 8-9, Frith-street, W. 1, England.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31673065_0090.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
