Source Description
This intricate style of binding from the 16th and 17th centuries, composed of a central oval surrounded by dense gold tooling, is known as the "fanfare" style. The binding, created by Léon Gruel, is an exact copy of the binding of Le Nouveau Testament de Nostre Seigneur Jesus Christ (Walters 92.182). Gruel was proficient at binding in antiquarian styles, but he also branched out in modern directions.
