Peasant Syndicate Book
- Client: Ignasi Cristià Studio.
- Artefact: Facsimile for exhibition of the Peasant Syndicate Book.
It ought to be exhibited open wide for two specific folios, therefore the binding was to be seen only along the edges.
Reproduction of the limp vellum binding with long-stitch and textblock on laid paper. - Date: 1448.
- Other links: Municipal Archive of Girona, Wikipedia, El Llibre del Sindicat Remença entra a formar part del Registre de la Memòria del Món de la Unesco (CucadeLlum.org).
Not all artefacts can be loaned to be admierd on an exhibition. Either because their condition discourages from it, because they are very valuable or their transport much too complex. The facsimile, or replicais a very intereseting alternative in these cases. The visitor of the exhibition can get a quite accurate idea of how the original is, but it remains untouched and safely stored at its place, needless to be handled nor assuming risks of any kind.
Detail of the book opened for the reproduced folios. The term “limp binding” is quite clear in this image: the binding covers curve along with the flipping of the folios, adapting to the their movement like a glove.
Stationery bindings open wide in a particular way, enabling writting after being bound. Notice how flat the folios remain on the table. Facsimile for exhibition of the Peasant Syndicate Book.
Limp parchment binding with long-stitched spine, typical of medieval stationnery books.
Manuscript opened on the reproduced folios (detail). The textblock is not trimmed therefore the deckle edges of handmade laid paper remain uneven.
