Title
Oeuvres poetiques de Mellin de S. Gelais
Description
A laced-case binding in limp parchment with no support of boards; this was likely a temporary binding. The "laces" that are visible through the cover are actually slips or supports that are sewn into the spine to support the text block. The fact that the text block is laced to the cover by means of the slips allows for a quick and easy removal and replacement of the binding. One should also note that the title is written in ink horizontally across the length of the spine, indicating that this is how the book would have been stored on its owner’s shelves.
