PROVENANCE<br />
Cardinal Emilio Bonaventura Altieri (1590-1676, created<br />
Pope Clement X in 1670), arms on binding.<br />
The binding is most likely to be Roman; it has some tools<br />
in common with bindings executed for Urban VIII in the<br />
1630s-1640s (in particular the outer borders and the<br />
tool used to create the lace fans in the corners). As the<br />
arms are stamped in silver on a gold shield and partly<br />
obscuring the cardinal’s regalia surrounding the arms,<br />
it is possible that a number of copies were bound for<br />
presentation, and the arms of each individual superimposed<br />
later.<br />
