Source Description
Binding is non-original. Cream parchment over pasteboard, inscribed on spine EVANGELIAIRE Xe SIECLE; book rebound after 1913 by Gruel, as the dimensions are smaller than those in the 1908 Brooke catalog and do not match the 1913 Sotheby's catalog description as "newly bound in niger morocco, covered with rich gilt interlaced circles and dotted ornaments by K[atherine]. A[dams].; some remnants of Katherine Adams' binding remain (endbands and four cords); front cover guard and flyleaf not original but have been with the manuscript for some time as evinced by the leaf numbering and the note in a nineteenth-century German hand
