Notes Macchi states; second half century, England(?), as cornucopia cornerpieces suggest (Fine bindings 1500-1700, p. 67, n. 120; H. M. Nixon, Elizabethan Gold-tooled Bindings, p. 255, pl. 7; Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Wien, Europäische Einbandkunst, p. 97, n. 171). The cornucopia blocks based on French models were popular in Paris c. 1570-1580 (see Davis 431), though used in England until about 1630. For other possibly English Renaissance bindings in French style see C.109.a.13., Davis 426.
