Last year, I joined a parchment-making initiative led by Jiří Vnouček, in collaboration with @notarialarchivesfnd and @agrikolturamt, to revive Malta’s traditional craft.
I am pleased that my essay, which I wrote in collaboration with Paul Hepworth and @karinscheper, is featured in Suave Mechanicals: Essays on the History of Bookbinding, Volume 8. 'Between Bag and Box: Characteristics and Conservation Issues of the Islamic Slipcase'.
I spent three days at the University of Barcelona with other conservators and librarians learning about Eastern Mediterranean bindings. I would like to thank Georgios Boudalis for delivering this fascinating course @Ligatus_UAL
This lovely slipcase has a suitably vibrant pattern for a sunny #MarbledMonday and it contains something wonderful (@CBL_Dublin Per 155, Lama’at of Iraqi, Herat, dated 883/ 1478) #IslamicManuscripts
I will be presenting my research on Islamic slipcases (Berlin Wetzstein I 78) for the Frederick Bearman Research Grant
@RAS_Soc on the 11th December. The lecture will be followed by a festive drinks reception🎄eventbrite.co.uk/e/fred-bearman…@IconBook_Paper
