Here is the interesting thing about these old books, when pages would fall apart, they would be replaced. So parts of the book are prolly less than a few hundred years old. Im willing to bet the spine is as old as they say it is.
It looks "big" but its handpressed paper, much thicker than commercial made paper. Im also willing to bet its filled with full page illustrations like the kind we see in this pic.

Old books like this are vellum, made of sheepskin, ya ignorant loon.
