At the same time, several gems of our collection, such as our 17<sup>th</sup>-century Qur’an manuscript, one of our two 16<sup>th</sup>-century Venetian Missals, and an early 16<sup>th</sup>-century publication by the famous Aldine Press, are also on display.</p> <p>The exhibition is by no means exhaustive. Rather than presenting a detailed history of book bindings, it is conceived more as an overview of the range of ways in which a book can be bound, exemplified by a range of bindings representative of the history and variety of this aspect of book history. The displays cover the different materials used in bookbinding, elements of binding such as clasps and ties, and a number of techniques employed to decorate the finished product. The woodcut from Denis Diderot’s Encyclopédie, also on display, illustrates the range of tasks undertaken in a bookbinder’s workshop.</p> <p>By Martyna Grzesiak</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-17966369" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-17966369"><div id="s-lg-box-15183336-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-15183336" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std"> <h2 class="s-lib-box-title">Clasps, flaps and ties</h2><div id="s-lg-box-collapse-15183336" > <div class="s-lib-box-content"> <div id="s-lib-cpane-17966369" aria-label=""><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/IMG_9277_-_Copy.JPG" alt="Metallic book clasp shaped as a human figure." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>1 of 3 | A pocket-sized prayer book</h3><p><p>Originally conceived as a way to prevent the parchment leaves of medieval manuscripts from warping, the use of clasps continued for ornamental purposes throughout the ages, as in the case of the filigree human figure used in the binding of this 19<sup>th</sup>-century <em>Book of Common Prayer</em>. The upper board of the leather binding is further decorated with silver cornerpieces and a cross centrepiece.</p> <p>The book was published by Oxford’s own University Press, which, alongside academic works, was noted in its earlier days for publications of biblical texts and prayer books. Cynthia M. Borough, LMH student in 1918-22 and later librarian at the Bodleian, bequeathed this volume to the college alongside a number of other antiquarian books.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/IMG_9729.JPG" alt="Red leather bookbinding, with a flap so the book is covered all the way round." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>2 of 3 | An example of Islamic bookbinding</h3><p><p>This early 17<sup>th</sup>-century Qur’an is one of the few manuscripts held by our library. It was donated to the college by Lynda Grier (Principal, 1921-45).</p> <p>The vibrant red morocco leather binding includes a fore-edge flap, a typical element of Islamic binding, intended to provide protection the book when it is closed. Interestingly, the depth of the flap is smaller than required by this book; this particular binding seems to have been repurposed from another book of similar size. To accommodate for this, the book has been rebacked: the spine is covered with leather of a similar red hue.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/IMG_9285_-_Copy.JPG" alt="One smaller, beige and one larger, off-white book, both held closed with ties." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>3 of 3 | Ties and yapp edges</h3><p><p>The purpose of ties is similar to that of clasps: to prevent the pages of the text, as well as the covers, from warping or gaping over time. Materials used as ties range from leather to linen and even silk. The late 16<sup>th</sup>-century publication of Julius Caesar’s <em>Commentaries on the Gallic War</em> here is bound in a simple limp parchment binding (that is, with the parchment as the standalone material, rather than a ‘hardback’ with pasteboards covered by parchment or leather), a material that is particularly prone to changing shape over time.</p> <p>Alongside it is a late, decorative example of book ties from the workshop of William Morris, also on a limp parchment binding, this time in a pale blue cloth. The binding also has yapp fore-edges, which extend beyond the covers to provide additional protection to the fore-edge of the text block. Named after a London bookseller, William Yapp (active in the second half of the 19<sup>th</sup> century), this element of limp bindings was already in use in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The book was donated to the college in memory of Morris by his widow Jane. Hand-printed, with typefaces and illustrations designed by Morris himself, the Kelmscott Press books are some of the gems of Lady Margaret Hall’s library collections.</p></p></div></div></div><script>jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").parent().css("opacity", 0);</script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick-theme.css"> <style> .slick-next { right: -25px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev { left: -20px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev:before, .slick-next:before { color: black; } #s-lib-cpane-17966369 .slick-slide a img, #s-lib-cpane-17966369 .slick-slide img { min-width: 100%; width: 100%; } .slick-slider { margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; } .s-lib-cpane-slide-left, .s-lib-cpane-slide-right { width: 75%; display: inline-block; min-width: 100%; } #s-lib-cpane-17966369 .s-lib-cpane-caption { padding: 10px; width: 100%; display: block; vertical-align: top; } #s-lib-cpane-17966369 h3 a { } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dt { float: none; width: auto; overflow: auto; clear: none; text-align: left; text-overflow: clip; white-space: normal; } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dd { margin-left: 0; width: 100%; } .dl-horizontal dd { overflow: hidden; margin-left: 45%; width: 55%; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; } .dl-horizontal dt { width: 30%; } .slick_play_pause button{ color: #2F5EA2; font-size: 24px; border: none; outline: none; background: transparent; } .slick-dots button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px !important; } .slick_play_pause button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.min.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ResizeSensor.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ElementQueries.js"></script> <script> jQuery(function() { // Once the gallery is loaded, make it visible jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").on("init", function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").parent().css("opacity", 1); }); // If loaded as a widget, give a slight delay to compensate for library loads. if (jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183336").parent().parent().attr("id") != undefined) { if(jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183336").parent().parent().attr("id").indexOf("widget") !== -1) { setTimeout(function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566217","1566218","1566330"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); }, 500); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566217","1566218","1566330"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566217","1566218","1566330"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } jQuery("#toggle_s-lib-cpane-17966369").click( function() { if (jQuery(this).attr("aria-label") == "Pause"){ jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").slick("slickPause"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Play"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-play-circle-o\"></i>"); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966369").slick("slickPlay"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Pause"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-pause-circle-o\"></i>"); } }); // Attach an aria-label to div.slick-track for a11y reasons.

As a waste material of the meat industry, it was fairly abundant until demand began to outstrip supply as a growing number of books were printed and bound. The standard types of leather in use in English bookbindings are calf, goat, and sheep.</p> <p>The first example, [1], in polished calf with a border of two gilt fillets with small fleurons in the corners, shows the smoothness of calf leather. This material takes decoration well, and many ways of dyeing and decorating it have been devised. Calf leather is usually dyed in various shades of brown, including dark brown [2].</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/bookbinding_collage_3_4_5_6.jpg" alt="Four leather-bound books (described in caption)." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>2 of 6 | Styles of leather</h3><p><p>Speckled leather [3], was created through the use of salts and acids on the tanned skin. The distinctive ‘tree calf’ style was achieved using similar agents, and so called regardless of whether the resulting visual effect is that of a tree [4], or a more abstract shape [5]. The Cambridge panel binding style [6], originated in the Restoration period, and was not exclusive to the work of Cambridge binders, as the name might suggest. This example of an 18<sup>th</sup>-century binding on an early 16<sup>th</sup>-century publication is a good reminder that books of that age rarely retained their original bindings.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/BB_collage_gilt.jpg" alt="Two gilt-tooled book covers (described in caption)." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>3 of 6 | Gilt-tooling</h3><p><p>Following its arrival in Europe in the mid-fifteenth century, gilt-tooling proved to be one of the most popular decoration styles, becoming more filigree and fine as the technique developed [7].

One of the key characteristics of goatskin is that it can be dyed in a range of colours, including the vibrant cobalt blue seen here. The straightforward, clean-cut decoration on the binding reflects the late 19<sup>th</sup>-century preference for simpler high quality binding design. This particular binding is characteristic of several books presented to Lady Margaret Hall by John Ruskin (1819-1900), eminent art critic and early benefactor of the college. Ruskin was a strong supporter of women’s education, and, following his visit in 1884, donated a selection of books to the library that included works by himself and by the 18<sup>th</sup> century novelist Maria Edgeworth.</p> <p><em>The Book of Common Prayer</em> on display alongside it is in straight grain morocco, characterised by the line pattern achieved through working the leather to lend it this new, artificial grain.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/BB_collage_cloth.jpg" alt="Two cloth-bound books (described in caption)." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>6 of 6 | Cloth bindings</h3><p><p>As the book industry continued to expand, and leather was in ever shorter supply, alternatives for providing covering material for bookbindings were explored. Paper provided one option, and a selection of decorative marbled papers used for this purpose can be seen in another part of this exhibition. Another option was cloth. This began to be used during the Victorian era, alongside the increased mechanisation of the book making process. William Pickering, a London-based publisher, was the first to issue cloth-bound books in 1821. Initially these were very plain, but soon techniques were developed that paved the way for a wave of decorated Victorian cloth bindings, such as the scene on the cover of <em>The Cunning Woman’s Grandson</em>.</p> <p>Next to it, an example of a fine cloth binding on the Nonesuch Press edition of George Herbert’s <em>Temple</em>. The press produced high quality work, applying the ideals of earlier Victorian private handpresses such as that on William Morris to new technology – without sacrificing on the quality of the finished product. The tapestry-like handwoven fabric used for the covers lends a luxurious feel to the publication, and its pattern includes the typographic device of Nonesuch.</p></p></div></div></div><script>jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").parent().css("opacity", 0);</script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick-theme.css"> <style> .slick-next { right: -25px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev { left: -20px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev:before, .slick-next:before { color: black; } #s-lib-cpane-17966378 .slick-slide a img, #s-lib-cpane-17966378 .slick-slide img { min-width: 100%; width: 100%; } .slick-slider { margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; } .s-lib-cpane-slide-left, .s-lib-cpane-slide-right { width: 75%; display: inline-block; min-width: 100%; } #s-lib-cpane-17966378 .s-lib-cpane-caption { padding: 10px; width: 100%; display: block; vertical-align: top; } #s-lib-cpane-17966378 h3 a { } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dt { float: none; width: auto; overflow: auto; clear: none; text-align: left; text-overflow: clip; white-space: normal; } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dd { margin-left: 0; width: 100%; } .dl-horizontal dd { overflow: hidden; margin-left: 45%; width: 55%; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; } .dl-horizontal dt { width: 30%; } .slick_play_pause button{ color: #2F5EA2; font-size: 24px; border: none; outline: none; background: transparent; } .slick-dots button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px !important; } .slick_play_pause button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.min.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ResizeSensor.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ElementQueries.js"></script> <script> jQuery(function() { // Once the gallery is loaded, make it visible jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").on("init", function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").parent().css("opacity", 1); }); // If loaded as a widget, give a slight delay to compensate for library loads. if (jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183343").parent().parent().attr("id") != undefined) { if(jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183343").parent().parent().attr("id").indexOf("widget") !== -1) { setTimeout(function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566240","1566241","1566243","1566244","1566245","1566246"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); }, 500); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566240","1566241","1566243","1566244","1566245","1566246"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566240","1566241","1566243","1566244","1566245","1566246"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } jQuery("#toggle_s-lib-cpane-17966378").click( function() { if (jQuery(this).attr("aria-label") == "Pause"){ jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").slick("slickPause"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Play"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-play-circle-o\"></i>"); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966378").slick("slickPlay"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Pause"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-pause-circle-o\"></i>"); } }); // Attach an aria-label to div.slick-track for a11y reasons.

Edge decoration dates back to the earliest codices. It was only between the 17<sup>th</sup> and 18<sup>th</sup> centuries that books started to be stored vertically with the spine facing outwards, as we do today. For this reason, early books often have information such as the title or shelfmark written on the edges of the text block, as in the case of Budé’s Summaire, which has the author’s name written on the fore-edge.</p> <p>As with many aspects of bookbinding, the initial practical benefits of such practice have paved the way for decorative convention. In particular, the application of gilt to the edges of the text block, with a glaze of egg yolk used to bind the gold leaf to the paper edges, has a beneficial effect on the book’s conservation: its presence limits the amount of dust that can enter between the pages. For particularly lavish bindings, the gilt edge could then be gauffered, i.e. decorated with heated tools, like in the diminutively-sized Suetonius on display.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/bb_collage_marble.jpg" alt="Two examples of books with marbled paper (described in caption)." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>2 of 3 | Ebru – the art of marbling paper</h3><p><p>The origins of marbled paper are disputed. Some trace it back to the art of suminagashi, a Japanese method of ‘painting on water’ that dates back to the 10<sup>th</sup> century. In the 15<sup>th</sup> century, a similar technique was developed in the Ottoman Empire under the name of ebru. Soon it arrived in Europe: by the 17<sup>th</sup> century, marbled paper was produced throughout much of the continent.</p> <p>Given the high price of leather, from the 18<sup>th</sup> century onwards bindings became common that only used the material to cover the spine (known as quarter-leather bindings), or the spine and corners (half-leather), with the remaining part of the bookboard covered in a cheaper material, such as marbled paper. Sometimes, for more temporary bindings, the bookboard was done away with and only the covering material, such as marbled paper, served as the book cover. Another common use of this technique in bookmaking is for the book’s endpapers (i.e. the paper leaves placed between the covers and the text block). The endpaper in the Roman bourgeois by Antoine Furètiere originates from this period, and is one of the earliest examples of a marbled paper in the library’s collections.  Book edges can also be marbled, as can be seen in some of the examples on display, in particular the copy of Esopus with matching marbling on the covers, endpapers and text block edges in a striking black, red and white.</p></p></div></div><div style="width:100%;"><img loading="lazy" src="//libapps-eu.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/140379/images/marble_collage.jpg" alt="Eleven examples of marbled paper." class="" style="max-height: 350px; margin: 0 auto; min-width: 0; width: auto"><div class="s-lib-cpane-caption "><h3>3 of 3 | Marbled paper patterns</h3><p><p>To produce marbled paper, splashes of paint are applied to a base, or size (water mixed with a thickening agent).</p> <p>Patterns can be created by combing through and swirling the paint. A piece of paper is then carefully placed on the surface, lifted and hung up to dry. Different styles of paper marbling have developed over the centuries, with two main groups: Spot (or Thrown) and Combed.</p> <p>The Spot pattern [1] forms the basis of a number of more intricate designs: combed through it becomes a Nonpareil pattern [2] [3], and with some more modification, the Peacock [4] [5]. The French Curl pattern [6] is achieved by creating swirls through a Spot base.</p> <p>Variation in the dyes and substances used, as well as the order in which they are applied to the size, can be used to achieve patterns such as the Gold Vein [7], Gloucester [8] or Papier Tourniquet [9].</p> <p>Finally, when the paper is placed on the paint, gentle movements of the paper can be used to create a pattern, such as the Spanish [10], and Spanish moiré [11].</p></p></div></div></div><script>jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").parent().css("opacity", 0);</script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick-theme.css"> <style> .slick-next { right: -25px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev { left: -20px; z-index: 2; } .slick-prev:before, .slick-next:before { color: black; } #s-lib-cpane-17966381 .slick-slide a img, #s-lib-cpane-17966381 .slick-slide img { min-width: 100%; width: 100%; } .slick-slider { margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; } .s-lib-cpane-slide-left, .s-lib-cpane-slide-right { width: 75%; display: inline-block; min-width: 100%; } #s-lib-cpane-17966381 .s-lib-cpane-caption { padding: 10px; width: 100%; display: block; vertical-align: top; } #s-lib-cpane-17966381 h3 a { } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dt { float: none; width: auto; overflow: auto; clear: none; text-align: left; text-overflow: clip; white-space: normal; } .s-lib-box-content[max-width~="269px"] .dl-horizontal dd { margin-left: 0; width: 100%; } .dl-horizontal dd { overflow: hidden; margin-left: 45%; width: 55%; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; } .dl-horizontal dt { width: 30%; } .slick_play_pause button{ color: #2F5EA2; font-size: 24px; border: none; outline: none; background: transparent; } .slick-dots button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px !important; } .slick_play_pause button:focus { outline: -webkit-focus-ring-color auto 1px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/slick-1.8.1/slick/slick.min.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ResizeSensor.js"></script> <script src="//lgapi-eu.libapps.com/web/css-element-queries-1.2.3/src/ElementQueries.js"></script> <script> jQuery(function() { // Once the gallery is loaded, make it visible jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").on("init", function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").parent().css("opacity", 1); }); // If loaded as a widget, give a slight delay to compensate for library loads. if (jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183346").parent().parent().attr("id") != undefined) { if(jQuery("#s-lg-box-15183346").parent().parent().attr("id").indexOf("widget") !== -1) { setTimeout(function() { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566253","1566254","1566255"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); }, 500); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566253","1566254","1566255"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").slick({"pane_id_list":["1566253","1566254","1566255"],"max_height":"350px","responsive":[{"breakpoint":600,"settings":{"slidesToShow":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"dots":false}}]}); } jQuery("#toggle_s-lib-cpane-17966381").click( function() { if (jQuery(this).attr("aria-label") == "Pause"){ jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").slick("slickPause"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Play"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-play-circle-o\"></i>"); } else { jQuery("#s-lib-cpane-17966381").slick("slickPlay"); jQuery(this).attr("aria-label", "Pause"); jQuery(this).html("<i class=\"fa fa-solid fa-pause-circle-o\"></i>"); } }); // Attach an aria-label to div.slick-track for a11y reasons.
