But the binding is from the late seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Cilt	This 17th- or 18th-century Ottoman binding is composed of dark brown leather over pressboard and includes a typical leather flap. The textured centrepiece is cut out, inlaid, and decorated with stencilled floral vines and cloud ribbon loops in two shades of gold. The flap shows a similar but smaller pointed medallion with the same decorative motifs. The medallions are surrounded by small golden rosette punches, gold outline and short golden rays. Additionally, there are gold lines and a gold-stamped lace band around the edges of the binding. The doublures are made of dark brown leather, except for golden double lines along the edges, which appear to have been redecorated.
