Montefiascone Conservation Project – Study Programme 2011 » Study Programme 2011
Montefiascone Conservation Project – Study Programme 2011 » Study Programme 2011: "STUDY PROGRAMME 2011
The cost of the classes is £445 GBP UK ($700 US, 520 Euro) per week and includes all tuition (which is in English) and most materials. The Montefiascone project is a not-for-profit organisation, and all extra monies are used to finance the cataloguing and conservation and preservation of the collection. Go to ‘How to Sign Up’ to download the application form for your placement.
The summer 2011 programme is as follows:
Week 1: July 25-29
Re-creating the Medieval Palette
This class will study the colours (made from rocks, minerals, metals, insects and plants) that were processed to produce the colours used by artists throughout the medieval era. The focus will mostly (though not exclusively) be on manuscript art (Islamic and European) and participants will re-create the colours using original recipes. Illustrated lectures, will address the history, geography, chemistry, iconography and conservation issues. Practical making and painting sessions will follow these lectures.
Course Tutor: Cheryl Porter
Week 2: August 1-5 - FULL!! Places available 8-12 August. Early enrolment is advised.
Reconstructing an early medieval Islamic Book Structure
Lectures on the early history of Islamic bookbinding by Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom:
The course will offer the opportunity of reconstructing a model of the so-called “box binding” – the earliest known Islamic book binding structure (8th-12th century AD). Many unique fragments of this structure are preserved – mainly in Yemen and Tunisia, and also in a number of important collections elsewhere. The binding style has until now, only been associated with the Qur’anic (Koranic) text, and no known historic treatises describe such a structure. For this reason, the reconstruction of this bookbinding is based on the published examples, and on the direct study of the Yemeni collection. Analysing different features and variations of the Yemeni fragments, participants will reconstruct one binding incorporating the most common features.
Participants will be provided with basic textblock and wooden boards, will sew the textblock to the boards, construct the endbands using one or both of the historic examples, and finally, cover the book in leather. The cover will then be tooled (decorated). The model will be constructed using traditional materials and techniques. Participants will study the history of the study of this structure, the variations in its features, the strengths and weaknesses of the structure, and discuss the origins and developments of this intriguing binding as well as some puzzling features, still unexplained. 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.
Course Tutor: Marco di Bella (Assisted by John Mumford)
Week 3: August 8-12
Conservation Techniques for Islamic Binding
This workshop will provide an introduction to the specific considerations of conserving Islamic manuscript material. Through a series of focused sessions (including lectures by Dr Elaine Wright Curator of the Islamic collections at the Chester Beatty Library) and model-making, participants will examine individual components of Islamic book structures and discuss the ways they can be treated to best conserve them. Participants will examine the conservation of Islamic manuscript material – sewing and spine linings, end boards, board attachment and covering, as well as produce a model conservation structure for Islamic bindings. The result will reflect modern conservation techniques, and take account of best-suited materials and ethical considerations.
Course Tutor: Kristine Rose (Elaine Wright lecturing)
Week 4: August 15-19
Exploring the unique features of Spanish early modern account book bindings
Books created for accounting form a separate branch of the bookbinding craft, and these bindings can be found in archives and libraries all over the world. By the 16th century, a unique style of account book binding had developed in the Spanish peninsula, with elements including elaborate and colourful mozarabic or mudéjar geometric lacing as cover decoration, a substantial fore-edge flap, buttons of glass, ceramic, wood or leather, and loops of carefully twined leather.
The class will complete a 16th century account book model, based on examples featured in Spanish History of the Book texts. The case material will be parchment, the overbands tanned leather, and the lacing patterns will be done with a combination of tanned and tawed leather, with the option for cochineal-dyed tawed lacing. The binding will include button and loop closures, with a variety of button options. Some time will be spent each day examining accounting and bookkeeping history as related to book structures, with an emphasis on information from accounting instruction manuals of the time, and depictions of account books and accounting in art. We will examine conservation treatment of a stationer’s binding, and to discuss potential conservation problems and solutions. The Barbarigo Library of Montefiascone has fascinating examples of Italian stationary bindings, as well as many binding that draw on elements of the stationary binding tradition, such as paper and parchment bindings. Participants will have time to create sample cards for different button, loop, ticketing and lacing styles, in addition to the Spanish account book model.
Materials can be provided at a nominal cost and a list of hand tools required will be provided at registration. The class is designed to be fun and useful for the experienced binder/conservator and the interested but novice participant.
Course Tutor: Chela Metzger

How to Tie One Thread to Another « Making A Byzantine Codex
How to Tie One Thread to Another « Making A Byzantine Codex: "How to Attach one Piece of Thread to Another April 9, 2010
When sewing the textblock a binder frequently finds him/herself without enough length of thread to complete the work. What to do? Well, the binder must attach another length of thread to the end of the previous one so that he/she can continue uninterrupted.
The images below demonstrate one popular method of doing this (I’ve had to use it a lot). I don’t know what method Byzantine binders used—the sources do not say as far as I can tell, but I imagine it was not too different."
