An uncommon English medallion binding. The Morocco Binder, thought to be a French immigrant, was active in London in the 1560s and 1570s, making bindings for Archbishop Matthew Parker, the Earl of Leicester and Queen Elizabeth. Only two bindings with plaquettes of classical authors are known: the present volume contains four plaquettes on each cover, depicting Cato, Cicero, Plato, and Xenocrates; the other (British Library, C.24.c.14) has just the two plaquettes of Cato and Cicero, impressed twice on each cover. The source of the portraits has been identified as René Boyvin whose engravings were published in Paris in 1566.
