Title A name given to the resource Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae elegantissimis eiconibus [B. Salomon] veras animalium species ad viuum adumbrantes […] Description An account of the resource This item has been rebound at least once since its initial binding, this being demonstrated by evidence that the text block has been cut to fit a newer binding. The current binding is on calfskin which has been dyed green. While it is usually morocco leathers, that is, goatskin leathers, that are dyed a variety of colours, it is not unknown for calfskin to undergo a similar aesthetic treatment. Calfskin was less expensive leather than morocco and this was probably an attempt by the book’s owner to have a colourful binding at less cost. The colour of the original calfskin is to be seen along the edges, most likely due to the loss of dye on exposure to sunlight.
