Printed wrappers, 8vo, 7 pp + 24 full-page plates. From the introduction: "Gold-tooled bookbindings are those in which the leather or vellum is decorated by impressing patterns with a hot tool on gold leaf, a technique which,probably derived from the Moors, appears to have been in use inAragon in the first half of the fifteenth century and to have been introduced into Italy through Ferdinand of Aragon, King ofNaples. By 1480 gold-tooling was fully developed in Italy, for by then Italian bookbinders were producing gold-tooled bindings forMattbias Corvinus, King of Hungary, who had married a daughterof Ferdinand of Aragon, and by the end of the century Italian tools and designs were being used and imitated in France. Italianbinders held their pre-eminence in gold-tooling until about 1535 when Parisian binders began the great series of bindings made for Jean Grolier.Thereafter France far outstripped all other countries in western Europe and, with rare intervals, has maintained this supremacy ever since. Gold-tooling came to England during the reign of Henry VIII from France and Italy, but no distinctively English style was evolved until the seventeenth century. The bindings reproduced in this booklet have been chosen to illustrate some of the many styles of gold-tooling current in Europe up to the eighteenth century, but the choice has been restricted,with one exception, to those bindings which have not previously been published."

Paperback. xv, [264], numerous fullpage b&w plates, these show front covers and spines, presswork for the plates and texts all on glazed alkaline paperstock, softbound in 11.5x8.2 inch brown paper covers lettered gilt. Curiously, the cover-stock is too thin for the job, and the gilt titling is worse: so light that one must concentrate to read the several words that are legible. Cover design aside, the spine panel is badly sunned, and upper joint is slightly split at top and tail. The text-block, however, is in near-fine condition.

One Mexican casing (1597) is described.…
