The History of European Binding 1500-1800 (Pickwoad)

This reading list is divided into two parts: those books which will give some essential background and those which will give a wider background to the material covered in the course. Some of the books are more in the nature of catalogues than historical accounts, and they can be dipped into selectively rather than read straight through. They concentrate inevitably on decorated bindings, and therefore give limited information about the standard styles of retail bindings available in any particular country. However, a close study of the illustrations will offer information about the changing shapes of books and the materials used in their construction.

For any questions about the summer school please contact Mrs. Ewelina Warner or Dr. Athanasios Velios.
