Remarks

Half-leather binding from the 1620s, in which this fragment was originally an internal reinforcement. For the full description of the host volumes and their bindings, see the virtual reconstruction F-bk3f.

This strip is placed vertically down the middle of the front cover across the decorated leather and another piece of parchment, possibly from a liturgical manuscript, which covers the rest of the board. On the front pastedown, the offset of a fragment from the same leaf, F-whed (longer strip), is visible. This suggests that at some point both strips were added to the binding later to repair a tear or crack in the board. The loose fragment was removed again during a bookbinding intervention performed in the 20th century.
