Echo of the Rosicrucian Colloquy

[This page contains no text or illustrations.]

This page is a secondary flyleaf, a blank sheet of paper included by the bookbinder to protect the more valuable printed pages that follow. The "binding strip" mentioned in the description refers to a narrow piece of material—often parchment or reinforced paper—used to secure the leaf to the rest of the book's spine. Like the preceding page, this surface shows signs of foxing, the characteristic brown spotting found on old paper due to humidity or metallic impurities in the pulp used in the early 17th century.
