Paris, 1500**\\ Bibliographical reference: Goff H433\\ Koninklijke Biblioteek / National Library of the Netherlands, Den Haag\\ \\ Drs Marieke van Delft writes: \\ \\ The book is bound in a velvet (original red?) binding, with a blind-stamped impression on it. A cardinal's hat -- but from whom? A French cardinal? It has been difficult to make an adequate picture of the object and the material is too soft to make a rubbing.| ------------------------------ A detailed view of the stamp, with two attempts (by David Shaw) to manipulate the image to show more detail.\\ Click on item 1 or 2 to see a larger image. | |{{:resources:provenance:cardinal_s_hat.jpg?150|}} | | {{:resources:provenance:cardinal_s_hat_djs.jpg?150|}} | | {{:resources:provenance:cardinal_s_hat_djs2.jpg|}} | ------------------------- Contact: > Drs.
