contents: Twin binding with oxidised silver-tooled vellum, marbled in green and brown. Both covers are tooled with two frames with, among other things, birds and flowers in between. In the centre of both covers two plates are printed representing Fides (faith) and Charitas ( charity). In the case of twin bindings the lower board of the one book is at the same time the lower board of the other. There are also `quadruplet bindings', but these kinds of bindings are actually meant to be frivolities.
