Text written within architectural or floral borders similarly colored and decorated. 19th-century calf gilt, sides with roll-tooled border, a central medallion on each side with stained picture of a monument, edges gilt; matching calf gilt pull-off case. Provenance: Emanuel Rosenberg? (partial name in gilt on spine); Saul Cohn (his sale Parke Bernet, 27 April 1955, lot 540, Emil Offenbacher agent).
A BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED MANUSCRIPT, each leaf with a different page border.
