strugling to understand these lines on this binding: are these deliberatly made in the wood, or are these just imprints from the blindtooling in the leather that once (?) covered these boards?

I know they cut up manuscripts to sell the illuminated letters. But this dude cuts up a modern book about manuscripts and is selling the illustrations... As 'illuminated letter L' for just 2 euro.

reused bookbindings in bookbindings. A common practice but until now slightly forgotten in the study of bindings. So a series of blogs about 'bindings in bindings'. #1: reused wooden boards.

a (reused) karolingian board with a peculiar number of lacing paths: 2x5 holes. Can't find any reference for this type of attachment, not even Szirmai. Trying to figure out how this would have worked out... but it can't. Wish i could see the other side of the board. Cod Sang 205

Auch das ist eine Jahresangabe in einem Impressum: "Gedruckt in diesem Jahr, da alles verkehrt war." A slightly unusual printer's imprint: "Printed in the year when everything was wrong". #bookhistory #skystorians

'Dark Ages'. Btw. 2018-21, I posted a series of cartoons on Twitter, based on my research in (early) Medieval History. I've drawn very little since then, but I hope to repost some of the older ones here & perhaps to add some new ones as well... feel free to use them for your research, teaching etc.

i really despite some booksellers. Mentioning this book is from 1618 (what is the date of the synode!), while you keep your finger over the actual date: 1884.
