The present authors have conducted an analysis of one of the relics of modern Western European bookbinding found in the collections of the Gdańsk Library of Polish Academy of Sciences: the so far unidentified binding of Wotton’s Binder «C», acting in Paris between the 1540s and at least the year 1564. The work has a characteristic orientalised decoration, which fits in with the trends of the French bookbinding ornamentation from 2. half of XVIth C. Its composition was based on centre moorish-ribbon medallions, corner quarter-medallions and adornments of the à semé type. A book clothed in this cover was first located in the collections of a certain Ioannes and later in the collections of a bibliophile from Gdańsk, Daniel Czirenberg (Zierenberg).References
