Leather Books



From Vera A shipment of medieval handmade books from Italy has arrived at my parent's place! I should have some in canberra soon for everyone to drool over. The man who makes them also said that if anyone was interested he could make perfectly authenticate replicas using the exact methods, materials and tools but this would of course be considerably more expensive, but having seen his level of skill and attention to detail this would be something I would seriously consider if i had some spare money. That said the books he has sent, while not perfect (most are based more on central european and italian medieval books rather that dark age examples, the paper is not handmade and he uses marbling which only came to Europe from the middle east in the high/late middle ages) are extremely beautiful and well made using largely authentic materials, methods and tools and based on real examples. They are the best compromise that is possible before it starts costing serious money. Vera
