Decorative Description:
A three-line fillet divides the covers into a panel design with lozenges and outer compartments. Three roundels of Christian symbols decorate the inner border, while the central panel is embellished with fleurs-de-lis and a Paschal lamb roundel tooled repeatedly in each full lozenge. A small rosette is placed inside each half lozenge. A blind line emphasizes the raised bands and continues onto the covers. The second compartment of the spine is painted red and contains the title written in ink.
