Bound with: Sternhold, Thomas e Hopkins Iohn, The Whole Book of Psalmes, 1628 Magnificent contemporary English binding finely worked on a hazelnut silk background and embroidered with silver and gold wires and wires colored in red and various shades of green. The binding features decorated ornaments, in the middle of each covers there is a beautiful embroidered panel that contains a detailed image of a blessing figure holding an anchor in one hand and in the other cover a figure with a cross in one hand and in the other hand a page; on the spine, ornamental drawings and hourglasses. However, information on the existence of these ancient artifacts should be sought in archival documents, as few specimens have survived the wear and tear of time. The most richly decorated copies were often made for Kings and their families; see, for example, the data sheet of 1623 of the Cambridge library: “for bindige & guildinge ye bookes of verses deliu [er] ed to ye Kinge Prince & Nobles”. Bibles and prayer books often had splendid bindings: the luxuriously embellished covers emphasized the importance of the content and were intended as a gesture of devotion. In 8vo; 170x110 mm. Embroidered binding, gilded edges. Copy entirely "réglée" in red ink. Some signs of wear on the binding. This is a remarkable example of a 17th century embroidered binding in good condition.
