March 14-18, 2011
(Course No. 106) (2), (3)
Instructor: Barbara Hassel
Language: German and English
Duration: 5 Days

Limp bindings over a long period of time have not obtained the
adequate attention of researchers in bookbinding. This was
probably due to the lack of gilding and decoration. If at all,
limp bindings were reported as interim bindings. There exists,
however, a huge variety of flexible bindings with very
interesting features. The course is composed of lectures with
double slide projection based on the research of Prof. Janos A.
Szirmai and hands-on practical work. Each participant will do
five to six limp vellum bindings with different types of sewing,
such as tacketing, long stitch and kettle stitch and with
various types of flaps and closures. This course is aimed at
bookbinders, conservators or others with equivalent knowledge.

Price: CHF 1'050.00 (Material costs depending on usage)
Admission Policy: Limited to 6 participants.

Sembra interessante, se a qualcuno mancassero idee per un regalo di natale...


e-conservation magazine - Book Releases: "Books will Speak Plain
A Handbook for Identifying and Describing Historical Bindings



By Julia Miller

book-cover-2.jpg

Publisher: The Legacy Press
Publication date: 2010
Pages: 592, 374 illustrations
ISBN: 978-0-9797974-3-9
Language: English


The recent publication Books Will Speak Plain by book conservator Julia Miller is intended to give an overview of historical bindings that can assist conservators, librarians, curators and booksellers to correctly identify and describe historical books. On the long term, this study will help preserve and hopefully add to scarce information available on bookbinding style, structure and materials. Moreover, this guide will contribute to the correct appreciation of those less valued, common-looking bindings and their significance.

The book contains an extensive glossary of terms, guidelines for writing descriptions of bindings and is accompanied by a DVD with 1,471 searchable color images and captions.

In March 2008 the author received a Conservation Publication Fellowship from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation to write a book. The wonderful outcome -“Books Will Speak Plain”- is the result of many years of training, teaching, and an extensive experience and research on historical book collections.

the Nokey sewing frame « jeff peachey

bel modo di bloccare i nervi e i nastri al telaio: da provare...

the Nokey sewing frame « jeff peachey: "In European bookbinding the sewing frame or sewing press is an essential piece of equipment. The primary sewing–that which connects the quires of sections of a text-block– is the very foundation of binding, and I believe a well-consolidated, multi-quire text-block sewn onto bands can only be achieved by using a sewing frame.” Christopher Clarkson, ‘Thoughts on Sewing Frame Design for the Book Conservator’ in The Paper Conservator 19, 1995.

Come Guglielmo da Baskerville, uno dei personaggi de “Il nome della rosa”, la studiosa Romilda Saggini si è messa a caccia di libri proibiti. L’archivista ha scoperto e poi ritrovato una serie di antichi testi che sembrava fossero andati perduti....

di Cooperativa sociale Ulixes | 15/11/2010 | 0 commenti commenti | Categoria: Comunicati stampa

Un incontro-laboratorio per conoscere in che stato sono e soprattutto come si restaurano i libri antichi. È questo il senso dell'appuntamento, in programma lunedì 15 novembre, alle 19.00, presso le Officine Culturali di Largo Gramsci 7, a Bitonto.
Nel corso dell'incontro, Valentina Terlizzi e Giuseppe De Filippis presenteranno il volume “Conservazione preventiva nelle biblioteche di Puglia”, lavoro conclusivo di un progetto finanziato, nel 2008, dalla Regione Puglia tramite il concorso “Principi Attivi” e realizzato dall'associazione “Folio”.
Il progetto, svolto in collaborazione con le biblioteche e gli archivi pugliesi, ha permesso di realizzare un monitoraggio ambientale delle biblioteche coinvolte, di Bari, Lecce e Brindisi, per conoscere le condizioni ambientali in cui sono conservati i volumi. Successivamente, grazie alla collaborazione con il laboratorio di restauro Codex, sono stati restaurati 6 volumi manoscritti e a stampa.
Durante l'incontro alle Officine Culturali, saranno presentati i quattro documenti bitontini restaurati: il libro delle obbligazioni, con carte manoscritte datate fra il 1641 e il 1788, il brano manoscritto della visita pastorale di Mons. Musso, datato 1565, entrambi conservati nell'Archivio Diocesano “A. Marena”, che, per gentile concessione, potranno essere visionato, e i Frammenti di scrittura di Notai Helia e Morea, datati 1578 e 1626, conservati nella Biblioteca Comunale “E. Rogadeo” di Bitonto.
All'incontro parteciperà, insieme ai curatori del progetto, l'assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Bitonto, Elisabetta Tonon. Al termine della serata, sarà distribuita gratuitamente una copia del volume “Conservazione preventiva nelle biblioteche di Puglia”.

“RICONOSCERE PER CONSERVARE”
Relatori: Daniele Danesi - Direttore della Biblioteca Comunale degli Intronati di Siena.
Cinzia Nanni - Esperta di restauro e conservazione dei materiali fotografici storici e
moderni e materiali cartacei.
L’incontro si propone di definire le problematiche inerenti la conservazione e l’archiviazione di
materiale fotografico. Per questo verranno percorse la storia dei materiali e delle tecniche
fotografiche, e le cause del deterioramento del materiale fotografico: alterazioni chimiche,
meccaniche e biologiche.
Verranno quindi illustrati i materiali ed i prodotti necessari per l’archiviazione delle fotografie,
con una particolare attenzione verso le regole per una corretta manipolazione, necessaria per
ridurre al minimo i rischi di danneggiamento insiti nel processo di archiviazione di materiale
delicato o particolarmente degradato.
Verranno anche illustrate le attuali normative ed i requisiti per la conservazione.
Si esporrà infine una ipotesi di progetto di archiviazione, basato sui principi sopra esposti. "- Inviata con Google Toolbar"

Con la mostra “La biblioteca dei Cappuccini. Manoscritti, Incunaboli, Cinquecentine e preziose edizioni a stampa”, i frati cappuccini della Provincia di Genova espongono per la prima volta una parte, la più rappresentativa, della loro inestimabile raccolta di libri antichi. Si tratta di un evento che non ha precedenti nella storia delle Biblioteche della Provincia di Genova e della Liguria in generale.
La Biblioteca Provinciale dei Cappuccini della Liguria, infatti, è nota non solo per la preziosità ma anche per la quantità e varietà dei beni librari posseduti.
Solo l’amorevole cura, la tenace dedizione, l’instancabile operosità con cui i frati, da secoli, custodiscono e arricchiscono le loro biblioteche conventuali, hanno permesso che questo immenso patrimonio culturale si salvasse e non si disperdesse.
Con la realizzazione di questo importante evento è possibile oggi ammirare ciò che per secoli è rimasto protetto e celato tra le mura dei conventi.

Professione libro :: Legatoria e Restauro :: Percorsi del Libro: "RACCOGLIERE, PROTEGGERE, CONSERVARE: soluzioni rispettose per l’archiviazione in biblioteca
Milano, 3 - 22 dicembre 2010
Cristina Balbiano d'Aramengo
420 EUR materiale incluso
PRENOTA QUESTO CORSO


Il corso è concepito specificamente per rispondere alle esigenze di bibliotecari e archivisti, che devono far fronte alle problematiche più comuni di archiviazione, protezione e conservazione di materiali editoriali moderni (nella fattispecie brossure, cucite e/o incollate) e dei loro allegati (lettere, fogli sciolti, buste...).

Il materiale cartaceo moderno presenta infatti problematiche molto diverse da quello antico, essendo per la maggior parte di pessima qualità, e dunque molto deteriorato o comunque facilmente degradabile.

È previsto lo studio dei singoli problemi e la realizzazione di prototipi per diverse tipologie di soluzioni. L'obiettivo è quello di mettere gli operatori in grado di realizzare autonomamente delle semplici rilegature senza adesivi e dei contenitori protettivi per il materiale presente presso le collezioni e le biblioteche, con mezzi elementari, costi ridotti e tempi brevi.

Durante le lezioni verranno dimostrati in laboratorio tutti i passaggi della lavorazione, poi ripetuti dai corsisti che realizzeranno i propri modelli

steamboating
Posted in book conservation by Jeff Peachey on August 23, 2010

I’d never heard this term before, but Nicholson puts it in quotes, suggesting it is some kind of workman’s slang, or at least an uncommon term. In describing cloth case binding, and how to use a plough, he writes. “If the volumes are small, a number may be cut at the same time. This mode of cutting is called ‘steamboating’”. This was originally written in 1856. Perhaps it is emblematic of the 19th century preoccupation with steam power in general, and how a machine can influence even the terminology of hand work.

'La città di Pescara può farsi parte attiva affinchè quei libri di Caffè, arrivati all'Università di Pescara e lasciati in un armadio, e ci viene riferito inzuppati dall'acqua durante l'alluvione del 1992 vengano ripresi, sottoposti ad asciugatura e ripristinati in collaborazione con l'Università di Pescara e messi a disposizione degli studenti, della città e dei cultori della materia.' concludono i consiglieri, che auspicano anche una serie di incontri e seminari riguardanti Caffè.

Countermeasures against pest and mold damage based on IPM by the NDL

By National Diet Library, Japan

With a warm and humid climate, like most Asian countries, Japan provides a favorable environment for molds and pests to grow. Since there are so many species and numbers of pests which remain active for a long time in the year, damage to materials can be serious. Many libraries have long been afflicted with damage from pests and molds. Therefore, the NDL has taken measures to contain the damage.

Leather Conservation Centre

"The Leather Conservation Centre is currently undertaking research
into acid deterioration of leather (commonly known as red rot) in
conjunction with The University of Northampton. This is a Knowledge
Transfer Project partially funded by the UK Government through the
Technology Strategy Board. The aims are to extend the current
understanding on acid-deterioration in leather and to develop a
conservation treatment for leather which has red rot.

To carry out the trials and experiments in order to develop a
product we require historical leather samples with or without
acid-deterioration. It would be much appreciated if you could send
us any discarded leather samples to help us with the project to the
address given below.

We are also looking for leather samples of unusual or exotic species
to extend our training collection. If you have any which you are
happy to donate to us please send us to the same address.

Introduction to Chinese Traditional Book Making - Victoria and Albert Museum

Che tristezza questa foto è così vecchia e io il corso l'ho fatto tre anni prima :-(

Introduction to Chinese Traditional Book Making - Victoria and Albert Museum: "Introduction to Chinese Traditional Book Making

Recently I had the opportunity to participate in this one week course given by Christopher Clarkson on traditional Chinese binding structures. There were 12 participants from 7 different countries. Our work space was intimate but friendly as the joy of Chinese binding structures is that they require little space as small hand tools are used rather than sophisticated equipment."

The Use of Bleaching Techniques on Paper Conservation
Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies
September 27-October 1, 2010

Instructors: Renate Mesmer and Julie Biggs

Cost: $1275.00
Includes all course materials, lodging and most meals

AIC scholarships of $300 may be available.

This program is designed for mid-career conservators. Instructor
approval is required for admittance into this course.

Course Description: A variety of different bleaching methods can be
used to treat discolored and stained paper. There are cases where
bleaching may be the only way to achieve an acceptable degree of
legibility or visibility of an artifact, or to restore an artist's
vision of a work on paper without the distraction of disfiguring
stains and discoloration. In this workshop conservators will learn a
variety of historical and contemporary bleaching methods and their
appropriate uses: light bleaching, hydrogen peroxide, calcium
hypochlorite, sodium borohydride, and borane tert-butylamine
complex. These methods will be reviewed in the context of existing
and current conservation theory, ethics, and practices. The course
will focus on practical applications of different bleaching
techniques and other non-bleaching options for stain reduction-both
localized and overall treatments. Participants will perform,
compare, and evaluate the techniques.

the principles and practice of handmade papermaking and paper covered bookbinding with Jacques Brejoux and Christopher Clarkson

Hand Made Cover Paper Workshop with Christopher Clarkson and Jacques Brejoux at Moulin Du Verger Paper Mill, France: " Hand Made Cover Paper Workshop with Christopher Clarkson and Jacques Brejoux at Moulin Du Verger Paper Mill, France. /"

Handmade paper and paper covered bookbinding workshop
France
13-17 Sept 2010

For the fourth year, Conservation By Design Limited (CXD), is
delighted to be organising and supporting the workshop in France on
the principles and practice of handmade papermaking and paper
covered bookbinding with Jacques Brejoux and Christopher Clarkson

Industry's two leading scholars and craftsmen, will host a five day
residential workshop at the 16th Century Moulin Du Verger Paper Mill
in Puymoyen, located in the Charente (Cognac) region of France.

The workshop will look at the particular qualities required of
handmade cover papers based on 16th and 17th Century exemplars.
Using 19th and 20th Century linen rags and Jacques' reproduction
medieval wooden Stampers specifically built for this purpose, it
will allow for direct comparisons to be made with Hollander beaten
fibres.

Christopher Clarkson will use Jacques' cover papers to demonstrate
the technical qualities required in a handmade paper for use in
period rebinding. His teaching will concentrate on limp paper
binding construction of the Renaissance, a passion of his since the
1960s.

Conservators and bookbinding professionals will be able to benefit
from this rare interchange of shared knowledge and experience; to
develop a joint understanding of the requirements of Western style
papers in the rebinding of period books and archival material and
stay in the beautiful Charente countryside. The group size is likely
to be a maximum of eight people and will be conducted in English.
Previous experience is necessary

The 5 day workshop delegate fee is Euro 1005.00.
(Plus gite accommodation at cost)

IPCRA | Training | Upcoming Courses & Workshops | Montefiascone Project 2010

IPCRA | Training | Upcoming Courses & Workshops | Montefiascone Project 2010

Montefiascone Project - Summer 2010

Montefiascone is a small medieval walled city about 100 k (80 miles)north of Rome, on Lake Bolsena. Since 1988 conservators and others interested in books and their history have come together to work, to learn and to enjoy this special place. The summer 2010 programme is as follows:

Week 1: July 26th-30th
Medieval Pigments
Through illustrated lectures, participants will examine the story of colour in medieval times. The class will address the history, geography, chemistry and iconographic importance, and the actual techniques of colour manufacture, with special reference to manuscript painting. Using original recipes, participants will make and paint out the colours. No previous experience is necessary.
Tutor: Cheryl Porter

Week 2: August 2th-6th
Introduction to the Islamic Book Structure
This 5 day course will be based on constructing a model of the Islamic book, by following and comparing historical treatises; in particular that of Ibn Badis (11th century) and of Ibn Muhammed al-Sufyani (17th century). Participants will be provided with the basic text block and will then proceed to construct the past boards, sew the text block, construct the endbands and finally, cover the book in leather, before tooling (decorating the cover). The model will be put together using traditional materials and techniques. Participants will examine regional and historic variations in the techniques, the strengths and weaknesses of the structure, and discuss conservation issues. Participants will be required to bring some basic hand tools (a list will be provided following registration). All materials will be provided at nominal cost. No previous experience of bookbinding is necessary to do the class and curators and custodians of collections are welcome to apply.
Tutor: John Mumford

Week 3: August 9th-13th
The Biccherne of Siena
In Medieval Siena, the Comune commissioned artists to paint the book covers for various public records. These account books containing records of revenue and expenditure start in 1226. Bound in wood, they were initially distinguished one from the other by basic symbols or letters of the alphabet. However, in June 1257 (with Siena at its commercial peak) the administrators of the Biccherna (or Tax office) decided to pay a painter, Bartolomeo, to paint the cover of the latest account book, adding lustre to the functioning of the state, fetishising the books that stood for their actions and competence. Here begins a tradition that was to endure for nearly four centuries highlighting painters such as Duccio di Buoninsegno, Gilio di Pietro, Sano di Pietro, Lorenzo di Pietro, Dietisalvi di Speme, etc.
We plan to construct a medieval binding, using wooden covers, attached to the text block with split leather taws, carved and consolidated with hand-made nails, stained with mordent and coated with gesso, like the originals. Facsimiles of original cover designs will be supplied and also pigments (for egg tempera work), and Armenian bole and gold leaf. We will examine the calligraphy uniquely used on these covers.
Materials will be provided at nominal cost and participants will be sent a list of tools etc needed for the class.
Tutors: Jennifer Storey and Caroline Checkley Scott

Week 4: August 16th-20th
Paper Bindings of Montefiascone
Paper bindings had appeared in Italy and other parts of Europe by the late 15th century, and numerous examples dating from the 15th through to the 18th centuries can be found in the collections of the Barbarigo Seminary Library and the archives of the Benedictine Convent of St Peter, both located in Montefiascone. This course will provide a brief historical overview of European paper bindings, and give participants the opportunity to examine rare historical examples in Montefiascone collections. Three paper-covered binding models will be produced in the class. The first based on an Italian alla rustica binding, a laced case structure found on numerous printed books in the Seminary collection and made from a single folded sheet of paper; a second replicating a semi-limp, archival structure with a fore-edge flap and tie, found on an account book in the Benedictine convent; and a third using modern specifications for a paper case conservation binding. Emphasis will be placed on the structures and materials used for each of the bindings, but there will also be opportunities to embellish cover papers using traditional colored paste in spattered or block-printed patterns. Nicolas Barker will deliver an introductory lecture to provide historical context for the Montefiascone bindings and libraries.
Tutors: Maria Fredericks and Nicolas Barker (Joan Weir assisting)

The cost of the classes is: £445 GBP ($640 USD, €500 EUR) per week and includes all tuition (which is in English) and (most) materials. The Montefiascone Project is a not-for-profit organization, and all extra monies are used to finance the cataloguing and the conservation and preservation of the collection. For further information or to register for one week or more, please contact Cheryl Porter: chezzaporter@yahoo.com . Go to ‘How to Sign Up’ to download the application form.

Announcement � Guild of Book Workers New York Chapter
The Nag Hammadi Codices – Single Quire Bindings
A workshop with Julia Miller
June 18-19 (9:30am – 5:30pm)
At the Gladys Brooks Book and Paper Conservation Laboratory, The New
York Academy of Medicine
To register, please call Rachel Lapkin at 718-817-8754 or email
rlapkin@nybg.org
Workshop Fee: $215.00 (GBW members)/ $250 (non-members)
Materials Fee: $40.00
The materials fee covers: leather for the cover and attachments (ties
and wrapping band, tackets, spine lining, stays), leather for the
attachment sampler (offcuts from the larger skins purchased for cover
leather), papyrus, paper for the text block, handout packet,
miscellaneous (paste, creme wax, foam core for punching, cardstock for
templates and attachment samplers, etc.).

Class description

The class begins with an in-depth presentation on the history of the Nag
Hammadi codices, their importance to the history of the codex, and the
structural differences found among the eleven surviving covers. We will
look at images and models of early book structures; the goal of this
segment of the workshop is to give participants a clear understanding of
the impact of Coptic binding on the subsequent history of the book.
Handouts on the NHC including a reading list will also support our
discussion.

The primary bench goal of the class is to produce a model of one of the
Nag Hammdi codices, Codex VI; the model will be less than full size.
Codex VI is one of the most intact of the surviving covers as well as
being one of the most complicated in terms of structure. The cover and
attachments will be made with goatskin; the text block will be made with
a suitable paper but workshop participants will have a small supply of
papyrus to use for adding to the text block or using it for cover
linings. Participants will also receive copies of some pages of the
Coptic text of Codex VI to alter and add to their text block.

A second goal of the workshop is the completion of an attachment sampler
that represents the different attachment styles used on all of the
surviving covers; the sampler will be useful in future teaching and also
will assist participants if they decide to make some of the other
covers.

Other optional goals include making a sampler representing the three
different cover-to-text attachment styles observed among the NHC as well
as sketching or photographing the elements of the other covers from
reference materials provided by the instructor for future projects.

Julia Miller – bio

Julia is a bench-trained conservator and was senior conservator at the
University of Michigan conservation lab until she left that position in
1994. Since then she has been in private practice. She has also
concentrated on research on the early codex and the long history of the
codex. Key points in her professional career include:

-Guest curator for two exhibits on the history of the codex: Suave
Mechanicals: Early to Modern Binding Styles in 2003 and Elegant to
Eccentric: Bindings from the Main Room of the William L. Clements
Library in 2007.

-Receiving a Samuel H. Kress conservation publication fellowship in 2008
through FAIC that has enabled her to write a book on historical
bindings: Books Will Speak Plain: A handbook for identifying and
describing historical bindings. The book is in the final stages of
preparation and will be published by The Legacy Press in the fall of
2010.

-Two visits to Cairo, one week in 2007 to study the leather covers of
the Nag Hammadi Codices, and a second visit for two months in 2009 as
part of a Getty Foundation team to train and supervise Egyptian
conservators from the Coptic Museum and other institutions making an
item condition survey of the manuscript collection of the Coptic Museum.

-Recently receiving a fellowship to visit the Library Company in
Philadelphia for a month to do research on an early American binding
style known as a scaleboard binding.

-Teaching, with a concentration on early Coptic codices, in Ann Arbor
and around the U. S.; my teaching draws on my historical binding
research and although I teach early structures, I try to give my
workshop participants as much information as I can about how the early
structures have influenced and continue to influence the history of hand
bookbinding.

Rare Shelburne Museum Circus Posters Conserved at NEDCC

The Circus Comes to NEDCC!

NEDCC treats a collection of rare circus posters for Shelburne Museum, in
Shelburne, Vermont


THE DISCOVERY

Removal of old exterior siding during a home renovation in Colchester, Vermont, revealed five vivid circus posters pasted onto the boards beneath the siding. The posters were mounted
on the house when a circus came to town in 1883, and they remained hidden, protected from light and weather, for the next 108 years.

The posters were donated to Shelburne Museum and conservators quickly realized that the safest and most efficient way to salvage the posters was to remove the boards from the house with the posters still attached. The boards, each with their fragmented section of poster, went into storage at the Museum, awaiting funding to have them professionally conserved.

That opportunity arrived in 2010, when the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) treated posters from the collection at the Center’s Andover, Massachusetts, facility.

YET ANOTHER DISCOVERY
It soon became evident that several other advertising posters from a competing circus of
the same time period were pasted underneath
the visible posters. Conservation treatment revealed the hidden images one section at a time, and NEDCC conservator Bucky Weaver was the first to glimpse the images that had been doubly hidden since 1883.

La formazione del restauratore: da Spoleto uno sguardo al futuro
Spoleto, 27.05.2010 - 28.05.2010
L’Istituto, in collaborazione con la Direzione Regionale per i Beni Culturali e Paesaggistici dell’Umbria, la Regione Umbria, il Comune di Spoleto, la Fondazione per la conservazione e il restauro del libro e il CISAM, organizza - nei giorni 27 e 28 maggio 2010 - un convegno a Spoleto dal titolo “La formazione del restauratore: da Spoleto uno sguardo al futuro”.
Il tema del convegno, l’iter formativo del restauratore di beni librari e documentari, verrà affrontato ripercorrendo esperienze passate e correnti, attraverso le problematiche legate alla figura professionale così come è stata delineata dalle recenti novità normative. Si partirà dai principi e dalle strategie operative messe a punto nell’ambito della Scuola Europea di Conservazione e Restauro del Libro di Spoleto (attiva dal 1992) quale progetto pilota e soprattutto attraverso il contributo di coloro che vi si sono dedicati con passione perseguendo l’obiettivo di dare concretezza ad una figura professionale innovativa, dotata di competenze scientifiche e tecniche di alto livello.
I risultati di questo impegno verranno ‘letti’ attraverso le esperienze lavorative degli ex-allievi, ai quali è riservato uno specifico spazio all’interno del programma.
Verranno inoltre messe a confronto altre realtà formative in Italia e all’estero, in vista dell’avvio delle Scuole di Alta Formazione.
Tra gli obiettivi della manifestazione vi è anche quello di stimolare una riflessione sul futuro della Scuola ospitata nella magnifica Rocca Albornoziana della cittadina a cui viene unanimemente riconosciuta una vocazione per il restauro.
L’iniziativa verrà dedicata alla memoria di Maria Clara Di Franco, primo Direttore scientifico della Scuola spoletina nonché autorevole promotore del successo del progetto, testimoniato dai riconoscimenti ottenuti in Italia e all’estero.

Flavio Marzo's manuscript highlight: Add. MS 11835 – Psalms, with Hymns - Digitised Manuscripts

Flavio Marzo's manuscript highlight: Add. MS 11835 – Psalms, with Hymns


Paste down back board with mark from the original leather strap

This very interesting little book, containing the Psalms and most of the Divine Office, might be one of my favourite Greek manuscripts. While there are many ways of looking at such a manuscript, as an experienced conservator, the reason why I have chosen this manuscript is because of its physical features which are closely related to its history.


Fore edge with metal (brass) pin and clasp with leather strap

One obvious striking feature of this manuscript is its size: it measures a mere 93mm in length, 74mm in width, and 34mm in thickness – ideal to be carried around by a monk in his daily prayers. Today, the book is housed in a beautiful 20th century box manufactured in the shape of a western-style book, at the British Library. The manuscript itself, however, is still bound in its original Byzantine binding, displaying typical characteristics of this style – 'link-stitch' sewing, a back with no visible supports, wooden boards with the distinguishing V-shaped edges etc.

We know by looking at the writing that it was probably copied in the 13th century. A note on f.21v tells us that it must have belonged to the library of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, Egypt, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The front and the back boards of the box bear the emblem of the Bibliotheca Butleriana, an important collection of which the manuscript was part of, before coming to the British Library.


Head of the manuscript with “V” shaped edges of the boards and head end band

It is, however, the small physical details that disclose many more information about its rich history. A simple stain on the inside back board, for example, is the mark left by a previous leather strap. The original leather strap broke and was replaced by another, the latter made of one double strip of leather, is split in two instead been split in three as it was originally and so one of the lacing holes in the front cover was therefore left empty after the repair. I am particularly excited by the potential for new discoveries and observations to be made once images of this manuscript and many others like it are made available online. Are there, for example, other surviving manuscripts that bear the marks of the same tools, used to decorate the leather cover and could therefore lead us to the workshop that produced this manuscript? Similar comparisons on the threads used for the end bands or the style of decoration of the brass clasp might help us to better understand the origins of this wonderful book.

MADONNA DELL’ARCO. I CORALI RITROVATI
Categoria: AvvenimentiData: 30/04/2010
Dopo oltre due secoli sono ritornati al Santuario mariano otto corali andati dispersi durante le soppressioni napoleoniche. Padre Gerardo Imbriano: «Abbiamo recuperato un patrimonio di rilevante valore storico ed artistico».

Fanno il giro del mondo per due secoli prima di approdare alla loro casa di origine.
Questo il destino degli otto libri corali per la Liturgia delle Ore del XVII secolo, un tempo appartenuti al Santuario di Madonna dell’Arco e poi andati dispersi a causa di un editto imperiale emanato da Napoleone il 25 aprile del 1810 che decretò la soppressione di tutte le congregazioni ed unioni ecclesiastiche, con il conseguente sequestro di archivi, librerie, casse ed appartamenti religiosi.
Padre Gerardo Imbriano, Rettore del santuario mariano, ci racconta l’incredibile storia del recupero di questi corali.

Il tutto, è accaduto lo scorso giugno 2009 quando arrivò un catalogo della Christie’s accompagnato da una lettera che proponeva l’acquisto dei corali in questione, la cui collezione faceva parte della Hispanic Society of Americ di New York che li offrì in vendita al Centro manoscritti di Londra il quale li mise, a sua volta, all’asta.

«Non potevamo perdere tale occasione in quanto questi corali sono di straordinario valore storico, liturgico, musicale ed artistico e poi propri del nostro Santuario- ha dichiarato ai nostri taccuini padre Gerardo Imbriano- Non abbiamo partecipato all’asta ma abbiamo avviato una serie di trattative che hanno portato all’acquisto dei corali i quali hanno fatto il loro ritorno a casa il 28 agosto 2009».

Gli otto manoscritti, riccamente miniati, risalgono al periodo compreso tra il 1601 ed il 1611: nell’arco di questo decennio sono stati compilati da Fr. Ioannes Ballus di Napoli e dal domenicano del Santuario mariano, Fr. Girolamo Nolano. Il loro contenuto è molto ampio: ci sono le varie ricorrenze liturgiche, quali l’Annunciazione, la Natività, la presentazione di Gesù al Tempio, la Resurrezione e non mancano raffigurazioni di santi e sante domenicani (Nella foto vediamo "La nascita di Gesù", di Fr. Girolamo Nolano, del 1607, ndr).
In molte iniziali, sono incastonate pregiate miniature e le pagine intere sono spesso incorniciate da elementi decorativi dai colori sgargianti.

Gli otto libri corali, dunque, dopo due secoli hanno fatto ritorno al convento di Madonna dell’Arco: qualche giorno fa sono stati presentati alla cittadinanza durante un convegno pubblico, ma ora sono chiusi nelle stanze superiori del santuario, in quanto oggetto di studio da parte di Daniela Rea, responsabile e curatrice del restauro, che ne sta approfondendo anche i contenuti e l’aspetto iconografico.
Padre Gerardo, però, non ci ha voluto rilevare il prezzo d’acquisto dei corali.

«La cifra è stata alta ma siamo speranzosi di ricevere contributi dai vari Enti così come hanno già fatto, per citarne alcuni, il comune di Sant’Anastasia, la Regione Campania e la procura di Nola, per continuare a procedere con il restauro- ha terminato il rettore del Santuario di Madonna dell’Arco- Ad ogni modo, il Santuario si è riappropriato dei suoi corali che costituiscono un patrimonio di rilevante valore storico ed artistico».

ALA | Preservation Webinars
Free preservation webinars offered during Preservation Week
May 9-15, 2010

The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
(ALCTS) announces two free live webinars to be offered during
Preservation Week, May 9-15. Archival 101 and Mold Prevention and
Remediation are designed for individuals with little or no
experience in preservation practices and procedures, including the
general public. The webinars are also very valuable for those with a
little more experience who wish to pick up some helpful hints.

The webinars are presented free of charge as a public service by
ALCTS as part the activities of Preservation Week 2010. Libraries
are encouraged to make the webinars available to their patrons.
Libraries can register for the webinars and show them as part of
their events for Preservation Week. No fee is required to attend the
webinars, however registration is required in order to receive the
link to the presentation.

Archival 101: Dealing with Suppliers of Archival Products
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT, 11 a.m. PDT)

Do you need to purchase archival supplies for your organization
or even yourself? Are you confused by the terminology and not
sure about what the differences between the various vendors are?
Not finding exactly what you are looking for and unsure about
adapting different products? Archival 101 is designed to
demystify the archival product market for the layperson and
non-preservation specialist. The presentation will provide an
overview of the conservation and preservation issues facing
libraries, cultural organizations, and individuals, describe the
terminology in use, discuss products and offer buying tips on
the different ways these can be used. A list of links to other
resources will also be provided. Archival 101 is designed for
individuals with little or no experience and will also provide
the more experienced user with helpful hints.

Archival 101 is presented by Peter D. Verheyen, Head of
Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University. After
beginning as work-study in preservation under John Dean at Johns
Hopkins, he studied binding and conservation in Germany and
Switzerland to become a rare book conservator working in private
practice and research library preservation programs. He
established the conservation lab at Syracuse for the treatment
of special collections materials, and developed a high-density
system for storing architectural drawings. In response to a need
for efficient rehousing in anticipation of off-site storage he
introduced Syracuse to the shrinkwrapping of volumes. The
Archival 101 presentation was originally developed for call
center staff at Gaylord Bros. when he worked there as Archival
Product Manager. It has since been presented regionally to
varying audiences. ALCTS is pleased to have Gaylord as a
Corporate Partner for Preservation Week.

Mold Prevention and Remediation
Thursday, May 13, 2010
2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT, 11 a.m. PDT).

This webinar will introduce attendees to the basic types of
mold, and describe the environmental conditions that promote
mold growth in home and library collections. Prevention as well
as remediation should mold growth occur will be covered. This
webinar is geared to participants with little experience, but
with lots of questions and concerns.

Mold is presented by Michele Brown, book conservator at Cornell
University since 1995. She received a B.A. in English from
Fordham University, and a Certificate in Hand Bookbinding and
Restoration from the Camberwell School of Art and Crafts in
1977. She is enrolled in the distance learning MLIS program at
the University of Alabama, and is scheduled to receive that
degree in August 2010. She has conducted numerous workshops
around New York State in disaster planning, care and handling,
and mold prevention and remediation. In addition, she teaches
bookbinding classes, conducts collection surveys, and maintains
a small private practice.
