Lumen de Lumine, or A New Magicall Light

This page features a decorative marbled paper pattern, a technique traditionally used for the endpapers of finely bound books. This specific design is a high-quality example of a "combed" or "nonpareil" pattern The nonpareil pattern—meaning "without equal"—is one of the most classic forms of marbling. It is created by floating pigments on a liquid surface and drawing a fine-toothed comb through them to create rhythmic, undulating rows of color..

The pattern consists of vibrant, waving rows of colors, including:

• Red
• Yellow
• White
• Dark blue and purple

These endpapers serve both an aesthetic and functional purpose. They hide the structural transition between the leather cover and the interior pages while adding a sophisticated decorative element to the volume. Based on the style and the preservation of the pigments, this marbled paper was likely added during a rebinding of the book, possibly in the 19th century.
