<p>[QUOTE="Ex Libris, post: 9438625, member: 14916"]Welcome to this board . Your book seems to be bound in some kind of legal document, probably dating from the 16th century. I can't see enough of it to determine the language (your book deserves a separate topic imho). Are you sure it is paper or is it vellum/parchment (animal skin)? Vellum is much more durable than paper, so it was often used as binding material.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
