Title A name given to the resource P. Vergilij Maronis poemata quae extant omnia […] Description An account of the resource Very similar in style to the neighbouring 1544 Virgil, this binding is also of pigskin seating for metal clasps, these now lost, visible. The covers have been over wooden boards, with hardware blind-tooled with various botanical borders, with the figure of Judith having been embossed on both covers. This technique is realised by impressing a heated decorative tool of brass into leather that has been moistened. Typical of Germanic bindings of this time frame, the initials of the owner have been embossed (RCT) above the centre-most border, with the date of 1563 appearing below. 1563 is most likely the date the book made it into the possession of its owner, thus two years after the text was printed.
