The outer surfaces of the upper and lower board of this early 16th-century couched laminate pulpboard binding, to an Italian incunable printed in 1487, are covered with parchment and paper, consisting of fragments from two Latin manuscripts of liturgical content, a cutting from a Hebrew manuscript of liturgical content (including a Psalm verse), and a scrap of printed music on paper. The outer manuscript surfaces have lost their text and now only glimpses remain, perhaps due to the pasting of marbled paper, now largely removed, over the top. There is no evidence that medieval manuscript material was employed in the making of the laminated pulpboard.
