Curious Incidents in the Life of a Book
This series of photos is of the work Sermones de Tiempo by Luis de Granada, Madrid, 1791.
--The first 3 are of the vellum cover, an apparent antiphonal, unknown date, and binders’ waste from an 1844 French text on political science.
--The next is the beginning of the text at page 33.
--Internal sewing.
--End of text at page 430 and a further look at the sewing. The published work continued to 496 pages.
--Back cover.
This treatment presents too many questions to list.
