English Royal Arms ? tooled on a book

Greetings to all,
I have a book (latin, Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis), dark leather-binding, gold-tooled with coat of arms in tooled frames on front and back
and one rose, coronet of an earl without the crimson cap on the spine.

Arms: Quarterly
one and four az. three fleurs-de-lis or (France),
two and three gu. three lions pass. guard. in pale or (England).
Crest: out of an (extremely broad !) ducal coronet or
a griffin's head erased ducally gorged two wings expanded.
Tenants: two equal monsters (mixture between unicorn and griffin, no
wings) dexter arrow-head tongued.

Those royal arms (without crest and supporters)
were valid between 1420 and 1567,
the book was printed Oxford 1902, bound Cambridge.

Above coat of arms, crest and tenants could not be found in
Burke's, Debrett's, Papworth or Elven's and also not Rietstap.

Could it be that in 1900 this tooling was offered to anybody willing to pay ?

An excellent jpg could be provided personally.
