[Blog Post] Analysis of cover attachment and VMS binding.
#38
Many thanks again, this is very interesting!

Please note that the MS Vat.Lat. 11504 has a cover that predates the time that it entered the Collegium Romanum library. It is part of a collection of Manuscripts that belonged to Pier Leoni, private physician of Lorenzo de Medici.
They all have a similar cover with number and title on the dorso.

However, it is not impossible (?) that the binding was re-attached by the Jesuits.
