| BINDING DESCRIPTION | |
| BINDING TERM | Cambridge style, or Cambridge panel style: A style of bookbinding popular at the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th. Characterized by three concentric frames (including a perimeter frame) formed with gilt or blind fillets or rolls, with fleurons or other small tools anchoring the corners. The space defined by the frames is often further delineated by sprinkling or toning with acid. Earlier versions of this pattern do not have the multitonal effect. This design is common to all of England, not just Cambridge. |
| DECORATION | Three concentric frames formed by a single blind fillet. Inner two frames are connected at the corners by a blind fillet, and the inner most frame further decorated by a gold roll and told corner tools. Four gilt fleurons anchor the corners between the second and outermost blind frames. Gold fillets delineate the six raised bands. Gold roll on turnins. Silver corners, central diamond, and clasp furnishings. Catch on the back board. Furnishings are unusual for this period. |
| REPAIRS | Leather repairs at the head and tail. First and last gatherings may have been resewn and endpapers are now heavily tipped. |
| COVER material/hardware, etc, corner style/turn ins, repairs | Full brown sheep or goatskin, uneven turn ins. Corners covered by silver furnishings. Six raised bands. Tightback. |
| BOARDS material, back cornering | Binder's board, unshaped, not back cornered. |
| SPINE rounding/ backing lining | Rounded and backed. Linings are not visible. |
| ENDBANDS style, material/color, core material | Dull beige front bead endbands sewn over tawed supports. Red and blue tie downs found at the front and back of text block suggesting that current endbands are not original. |
| SEWING style, # stations, support material lacing in | Two-on, over six raised bands. Sewing pattern may not be consistent throughout text block. Support material is probably cord. |
| ENDPAPERS material, # of flyleaves/attachment | Dutch pattern curled marbled paper pastedown, and made marbled flyleaf. Front endpapers have two beige (1) thin (2) slightly textured (2) handmade laid paper flyleaves. Rear endpapers have three flyleaves. |
| TEXT BLOCK material, edge treatment | Beige (1) medium (1) slightly textured (2) handmade laid paper. Edges gilt. |
