State of preservation
good
Condition
The leather cover is reapaired with stitches on the back board.
Binding
Ethiopic bookbinding with tooled leather cover and textile inlay, preserved in its slip case.
Both boards are carved from a light brown wood. Light brown leather cover with wide turn-ins (up to 80 mm) and additional leather patch. Among the turn-ins is pasted a textile inlay with yellow, red and black vertical lines on a red background. The blind-tooling decoration of the cover is imprecise and asymmetrical. The patterns on the front and back cover differ slightly. The decorative pattern shows a latin cross surrounded by a frame. The cross occupies almost the entire central panel of the cover and is formed by the repetition of X-Form motifs within triple straight lines. The same pattern builds the outer frame. The extant space of the cover is divided in four rectangular panels by the cross. Here, triple straight lines cross each other diagonally. At the corners and intersections are double circles, single or in groups of four. On the turn-ins the triple straight lines follow the borders and at the intersections groups of four double circles are found. The spine is not decorated while double circles are found on the board edges. Narrow slit-braid endbands and are sewn to the text block using a thread of animal origin. The headband is sewn starting from the upper board while the tailband is sewn starting from the lower board.Sewing Stations

Pricking
- (Subtype: pattern) The layout corresponds to the pattern I defined by D. Nosnitsin: the text is written above the first ruled line, the vertical and horizontal pricks are visible and they are located in the margins. Since the bifolia show the same irregularity in the lineup of the text pricks, probably the same template has been used during the pricking. Some bifolia are pricked from the flesh side, other from the hair side.
