Notes: For discussion of this and a related binding see LC: C-932 in the Italian bindings section of this website. Most Italian bindings of the 15th century are stamped with decoration that is almost identical on both covers. Given this binding's upper cover design, the large Star of David on the lower cover is quite unusual.
