A beautifull mid 17th century Dutch all over pattern binding in French style
De iure matrimonii dissertationes, quibus selectae aliquot quaestiones de sponsalibus, nuptiis, iure dotium, pactis dotalibus, & communione bonorum inter coniuges, ad hodiernum usum illustrantur.
Harderovici, Egbert Arnoldus à Nunspeet 1651. 12mo (138 x 73 mm). [XXIV], 575, [25] pages (last leaf blank).
Brown-red morocco on wooden boards bevelled at the inside, gold tooled. On the covers a frame of a birds-in-vine roll bordered by decorative rolls. The central panel filled with an all over pattern of pointilé curls and large and small dots. Flat spine bordered by a decorative roll and filled with the small curls and dots. Edges gilt and simply gauffered.
Many of the richly gilt mid 17th century bindings are falsely ascribed to Albertus Magnus. Also this binding is not made by Magnus, but evidently of a very high quality and directly orientated at the French binding style. The birds-in-vines roll was very common in Holland at that period. The provenance is quite English.
-Provenance: "Liber Guilielmi Cand a Magdaline" and "Robert Carr my very good friend" on the lower end leaves; "R. Joh. Morell?" on the title page; "R. Bond 1820 Norfolk" in pen on the prelims.
-Condition: Leather on the joints brittle; Later end leaves; Clasps not present any more; Few worm holes in the beginning and end; Lower blank margin of the title page cut of and restored; Nice example of a rich Dutch mid 17th century luxury binding.
