The recovery of over a thousand objects from the BZN17 shipwreck off the north Dutch coast in 2014, many in a remarkable state of preservation, provided scholars with a glimpse into the world of ...trade and travel in the mid seventeenth century. This article addresses the leather bookcovers discovered in the wreck, drawing on the expertise of bookbindings scholarship to understand the lives of these books and their owners. In paying close attention to the materiality of the bookcovers we are able to gain significant insights both into the collection and the identity of its possible owner, as well as understanding better the transnational connections of books and their readers at this date.
The present volume is the result of a comprehensive investigation of 86 illuminated manuscripts and fragments that are now in the University Library in Graz. Produced between 1225 and 1300, the works ...almost all came to Graz from monasteries in Styria, Carinthia, and Slovenia, where they were held until the secularizations of the late 18th century. Manuscripts are among the most multifaceted forms of evidence from the Middle Ages, providing invaluable information on the time of their creation and on later periods. The present volume is the result of a comprehensive investigation of 86 illuminated manuscripts and fragments that are now in the University Library in Graz. Produced between 1225 and 1300, the works almost all came to Graz from monasteries in Styria, Carinthia, and Slovenia, where they were held until the secularizations of the late 18th century. The volume approaches this material from an art-historical perspective and sets it within its historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts. Stylistic analysis of the illuminations shows that only a relatively small proportion of the works was made locally, and that most of the manuscripts were imports from major centres of European book production – such as Bologna, Paris, or South France.
Die vorliegende Publikation enthält eine wissenschaftliche Tiefenerschließung von 86 illuminierten Handschriften und Fragmenten (1225 bis 1300), die aus säkularisierten Klöstern der Steiermark, Kärntens und Sloweniens stammen und sich heute in der Grazer Universitätsbibliothek befinden. Handschriften gehören zu den vielschichtigsten Zeugnissen des Mittelalters und sind Quellen von unschätzbarem Wert, die wichtige Informationen sowohl zu dieser Epoche als auch zu ihrer Bedeutung für die Gegenwart liefern. Der vorliegende Band basiert auf der wissenschaftlichen Tiefenerschließung von 86 illuminierten Handschriften und Fragmenten, die aus säkularisierten Klöstern der Steiermark, Kärntens und Sloweniens stammen und sich heute in der Grazer Universitätsbibliothek befinden. Zwischen 1225 und 1300 entstanden, wurden die Werke aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive ausgewertet und in ihren historischen, kulturellen sowie intellektuellen Kontext eingebettet. Dabei ließ sich feststellen, dass es sich bei vielen Handschriften um Importe aus großen Buchproduktionszentren Europas, wie Bologna, Paris oder Südfrankreich, handelt und nur verhältnismäßig wenige Werke in den heimischen Konventen entstanden, aus denen sie überliefert wurden.
Abstract
The Radboud University Library in Nijmegen is a partner of the Einbanddatenbank (EBDB) in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek - Preussischer Kulturbesitz. Nijmegen records are being entered into ...this database of decorative tools of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century bookbindings. On the basis of a Nijmegen bookbinding it is shown how to search the EBDB for decorative tools and eventually to identify bookbinders.
La Biblioteca Capitular de la Catedral de Toledo dispone entre sus fondos de un grupo de encuadernaciones mudéjares con motivos decorativos centrales realizadas por artesanos durante el siglo XV. ...Este trabajo nos señala la existencia de diferentes talleres que realizaron encargos para la catedral mediante el estudio de las estructuras decorativas de las tapas y lomos, los elementos decorativos individuales empleados, la construcción y decoración de las cabezadas, los broches metálicos y bordados, así como la identifi cación de los emblemas heráldicos que aparecen en los primeros folios de los volúmenes.

The paper examines the bookmarks recorded in the manuscript collection of the St Catherine's Monastery Library in Sinai. It proposes a consistent classification and terminology and examines in detail ...the three main types of bookmarks, the board strap markers, the endband string markers and the leaf tab markers using the physical evidence collected through the St Catherine's Library Conservation Project as well as iconographical evidence from Byzantine works of art. The bookmark structure, function and materials are explained in detail, and line drawings of their shape and construction are also provided. Special attention is given to leather straps fixed on the boards of codices which have been interpreted as 'lifting tabs' in the past and which are now reinterpreted as bookmarks.
