Irish binding.- Juvenal. Decii junii juvenalis et auli persii, title in red and black, woodcut head- and tail-pieces, engraved armorial presentation bookplate, lacking engraved frontispiece, a4 small section torn away from fore-margin, affecting a few letters, library stamp and ink writing to verso of title, occasional light foxing or staining, marbled endpapers, handsome contemporary red morocco prize binding for Trinity College, Dublin, richly gilt, large arms of Trinity College to covers within double borders, spine in compartments and richly decorated with various tools and with a black morocco label, rubbed and marked, g.e., 12mo (binding 132 x 82mm.), Dublin, George Grierson, 1728.⁂ As with other morocco bound volumes commissioned for presentation by Trinity College this volume displays at least one feature of the 'Worth Binder' (RII, p.281, McDonnell & Healy, Gold-tooled bookbindings commissioned by Trinity College Dublin in the Eighteenth Century). Given the use of the fourth iteration of the College's armorial supra-libros (1744), and the understanding that the binding shop that produced work for Sir Edward Worth 'underwent a change' in 1733, we can only assume that the earlier roll was reused by a fellow Dublin binder.Provenance: 'John Radcliff T: C: D' (ink inscription); Hammersmith Libraries, Samuel Martin bequest (ink stamp and inscription to verso of title).
