Now that we have discovered a few bindings by Durand they are easier to recognize as they appear to have been decorated with many of the same tools. On this binding we do see some tools that we have not yet recorded, however the reproduction of this binding is not as sharp as it could have been. Therefore we will have to wait until we find a better example for imprint extraction. So far we have only three. |

Even experts are sometimes wrong, before you spend thousands on a book, please do your own research! Just because I say a certain binding can be attributed to le Maitre isn't any kind of guarantee, don't take my word for it, go a step further and get your own proof. In these pages I have provided you with a way of doing just that. |
