69 A case in the treasury of Louis de Bourbon needs special discussion as it can be associated with an object by Giovanni Battista Metellino (last quarter of 17th century), but several details of the central part of the case, decorated with a fan, are identical with those of the Wirth-goblet, so there is a connection with the Augsburg cases as well.

70 The interior of a black velvet-lined case differs only in terms of a few small details from one of the jewellery designs found in the archives of the Esterházy family. In: Kopp, Margit: Barocker Schmuck der Fürsten Esterhazy. Eisenstadt, 2013, p. 45.

72 The reconstruction of the library of Ferenc III Nádasdy is the subject of several studies by Noémi

Viskolcz. The present reference comes from:

VISKOLCZ, Noémi: ‘Nádasdy III. Ferenc gyűjteményei.’ [The collections of Ferenc III Nádasdy.] In: Századok 2010/4, pp. 873-893 (hereafter Viskolcz 2010).

73 University library, Budapest, RMK I 108.2 (coll. RMK I 107.2). This volume featured

in the exhibition of book art held in 1882, and a photograph of the binding can be found in the Archive of the Museum of Applied Arts:

FLT 2773.

74 The Nádasdy book is very similar to a bookbinding made in Vienna in 1646 as a gift for Ferdinand IV: Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 7683, In: Menzel, Maria: Wiener Buchbinder der Barockzeit. Graz, 1972, p. 129,

Abb. 11.

75 The research of Noémi Viskolcz has shed light on a bookbinder from Wiener Neustadt who worked for the Nádasdy library. See: Viskolcz 2010, p. 887. Among the Nádasdy library books identified by Noémi Viskolcz, the ornate binding on the work by Káldi is unique, because the majority of Nádasdy’s books were bound in undecorated parchment or blind tooled pigskin: Viskolcz, Noémi:
