another portion of this identical volume long after I had rebound
it, containing from fo: XLIV to fo: LXXXXVII, those leaves
being here decient . . . As 5 guineas were asked I did not think it
worth while to take it as the volume would have still remained
imperfect. The leaves that have been taken out in the middle of
this volume were given by me to Lord Spencer to make his copy
more perfect. I wish his librarian had been a little more careful in
extracting them . . . Bequeathed in1834.

Binding: Sixteenth-century (second half) dark brown Italian
(Venetian) blind-tooled goatskin over thick wooden boards bev-
elled inwards. Two clasps hinged on the upper cover lost. On
both covers llets form frames mitred at the corners; within the
inner frame is an ornamental roll. Further llets form an inner
rectangle containing a large euron at each corner, and, in the
centre, a lozenge-shaped compartment is formed by intersecting
quadruple llets containing the euron repeated four times; an
acorn at each corner; above and below this compartment is a cir-
cular oral ornament containedby four quarter-circles. The bind-
ing is sewn on three bands, which alternate on the spine with four
false bands, the latter decorated with diagonal lines in gilt. Blind-
tooling in the compartments of the spine. The title has been added
in white paint along the spine from foot to head, HIST VENIT
BERN IUSTINIAN; another title in gilt has been added on the
lower cover, BERNARD. IUSTIN. DE GESTIS VENET. The
edges of the boards are decorated with one or more llets in
blind. Mottled edges. Triple multi-coloured headbands.
Pastedowns and one free back endleaf (not wrapped round the
rst or last leaf). Watermarks: front, ecclesiastical hat (cf.
Briquet 3418: Padua 1536, Brescia 1579); back, anchor in circle
below cross (not in Piccard, Anker). In spite of the convincing
title on the lower cover, there are reasons to suspect that the bind-
ing did not originally belong with this copy of the book: the copy
does not t the binding, being too wide at the fore-edge and too
tight in the spine. Wooden boards are unnecessary and extremely
unusual on a book printed on paper by the second half of the six-
teenth century. The mottled edges, multi-coloured headbands,
and endleaves fromdierent paper stocks, whichare not wrapped
round the rst or last gathering in the normal way, are all suspi-
cious features, suggesting that this copy is a rembo|tage. It has cer-
tainly been altered, and the pastedowns are laid down over
modern paper. The Crevenna catalogue records only v (veau),
which may or may not describe the binding now present. See De
Marinis, Legatura, II, no. 2093 bis (asVenetian). Size: 325 215

Binding: Eighteenth-century English (London; probably

Washed early marginal annotations and nota marks, also cor-
rections to the text, and some punctuation and diminuation
marks.
Some four- and ve-line initials are supplied in washed black ink.
Provenance: Possibly Maeo Pinelli (1735^1785); see Morelli II
2792 and sale (1789), lot 7693; according to the Bodleian anno-
tated copy of the sale catalogue this lot was sold to Lord Spencer
for 4. 10. 0; this is the price paid by the Bodleian in1789, so it may
be that the annotation, uncharacteristically, is incorrect and that
the Bodleian bought the book at the Pinelli sale; this, however,
seems less likely than an alternative provenance from Pietro-
Antonio Bolongaro-Crevenna (1735^1792), sale (1789), part II
lot 5829; the Crevenna copy is described as having been bound
[en] cart[on], and would therefore probably have been rebound;
in the annotated sale catalogue the lot is marked down to van den
Bergh for Fl. 10, the equivalent of 0. 17. 6, according to the
exchange rate used byThomas Payne at this sale; items from this
sale acquired by the Bodleian through or from van den Bergh
were regularly priced much higher than the hammer price.
