Red morocco binding with gold design on cover and spine, pink marbled endpapers: French binding of the 19th century.
The signature “Anna Portebois” occurs on f.17v. in a 16th or 17th century hand.
This one is everyone’s favourite, to the extent that we recently had to have the binding conserved. Sadly the second half of December is missing.
