Queens Binder style - Fine red Morocco Binding - 1671 This little devotional book from 1671 has a beautiful contemporary binding in red Morocco. "Directions for a Godly Life" by Henry Tozer 12mo: [10] 163 [=193] [1] (complete) The binding is a classic 17th Century binding from the golden age of English book binding . It uses intricate tooling - including delicate four-petaled floral shapes, overlapping drawer handle motifs, and pointelle decoration. The tooling is consistent with the Queen's binder A, who was active during the restoration period, and whose name comes from a series of similar bindings from the Libraries of Catherine of Braganza and Mary of Modena - the wives of King Charles II and James II. The book, written by the Oxford priest Henry Tozer, is a classic puritan tract which invites the reader to dedicate their life to God and to the Holy Communion. Like many puritans, Tozer would end up in the Netherlands, although he did not make the trip to America as many of his fellow believers would. USTC: 3088875 (4 copies only)
