The Enchiridion of Pope Leo

This photograph shows the fore-edge of a closed historical book. The binding consists of dark red or brown leather, featuring remnants of decorative gold gilding on the edges and spine. The paper is deeply tanned and yellowed from age. A small green cloth ribbon, used as a bookmark, sticks out from the center of the pages.
