Rare editions of these two famous fundamental works of canon law. Eadi of

The two books — and this is the special value of this copy — are bound
together in an extremely finely preserved monastic binding, bound still about

(cf. the description of another specimen in Goldschmidt, Book-bindings no. 9 and the
rubbings on plate C). The pigskin is slightly rubbed at a few places, but otherwise
the tooling is very fresh, the bads, is entirely intact and both the clasps are existing
with its embossed attachments.
Two leaves from a Latin vellum MS. of the 15th cent, are used as end-papers.
Incunables in such finely preserved, signed monastic bindings
are very rare. See Reproduction> PIate 1U.
