Hello Gorgeous!
I was in the wrong part of the stacks, looking for a different thing, when... This book is a 1571 German Genesis, but most of the excitement is on the outside!
Particularly on the front and fore-edge. I don't know who the coat of arms owner or AB (or AB were), but I like their style!
