Description

Explore the deep history of bookbinding traditions within the Islamic world through this specialized study. Published by Brill as part of the Islamic Manuscripts and Books series, this second revised edition provides a detailed look at how books were constructed across different regions. Karin Scheper approaches this subject from a craft-based perspective. Instead of just looking at the art, the text examines the actual materials used in the binding process. By analyzing these material characteristics, the author demonstrates how the physical makeup of a book provides valuable information for researchers and historians. This volume is an essential resource for those interested in graphic arts, book design, and the history of Islamic manuscripts. It offers a practical understanding of the methods and regional varieties that defined the craft, making it a significant addition to any academic or professional library focused on manuscript studies.
