The binding is true to the original in every aspect.

THE COVER
The goatskin cover has been completely made by hand using red Morocco leather purchased in France. The spine of the volume was worked in relief and in gold, with five raised bands.
The refined and complex open-work that adorns the cover was obtained with perforated leather inserts over multicoloured silk.
The gems mounted on the plates are two real pieces of amber (front plate) and two real aquamarines (backplate), both cut in the cabochon style and surrounded by silver settings.
The rounds painted with the figures of the Annunciation after the school of Ghirlandaio and Filippo Lippi, were philologically reconstructed and gilded by hand, while the decorations were reproduced in gold applied with a brush.

THE SILVER EMBELLISHMENTS
The corner pieces, four on the front and four at the back, are made of cast silver, as are the two clasps and the two fasteners. The cast silver is marked with a number that testifies to its authenticity.

THE INSIDE COVERS
The internal covers of the volume have also been given an extremely elaborate decoration, obtained by inserting two different types of leather, one red and the other black, inlaid and surrounded by an antiquated solid silver frame. Lastly, each of the two internal plates sports a central round element made of leather and worked in bass relief.
