<i><span style="font-family: ";">De Politia Jv DIACA, </span></i><span style="font-family: ";">shelf mark JI c7 (1574) is a full leather binding sewn on raised bands. On receipt the spine was severely damaged and the cords broken at back joint. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: ";"> The textblock required some repair including, dry cleaning, relaxing creases, and paper repair. The parchment guard at the back of the book was removed, humidified, flattened and repaired then resewn to the textblock with a new handmade endpaper. Once all paper repairs were completed the book was given a Japanese paper lining to consolidate the textblock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: ";"> </span><span style="font-family: ";">Once the textblock was stable a new point of attachment from the back board to the textblock was needed. To do this I used sewing thread sewn around the original cords and slowly built up enough thread to create a cord. These new cords were then laced through the original lacing holes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: ";"> With the board now securely attached a new toned leather reback was applied to the spine. The original leather was then adhered on top of the new spine leather and the cover boards. It should be noted that the original spine had a paper label on the second panel; this label was not reattached to the rebacked book as it extended onto the joints of the book. The label was however retained and boxed with the item.</span><span style="font-family: ";"> </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: ";">Avli Persii Flacci Satyrae Sex, </span></i><span style="font-family: ";">shelf mark HI e19 (1602) is a limp vellum binding. On receipt it was completely missing the front cover with only a small area containing the original slips remaining, however the textblock however was still securely attached to the case by its alum tawed slips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: ";"> Due to the severe damage to the last few pages and the unstable state of the title page and first section these pages were removed, washed, repaired and sewn back into place. New handmade endpapers were also sewn in around the original supports to protect the textblock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: ";"> A new piece of toned vellum was used to make a new front cover. The repair piece was cut to size, turned in and the inside corners sewn with parchment tape to secure them. Rather than adhere the repair piece to the inside of the original spine the piece was cut in a comb shape with the combs extending into the space between the sewn textblock and the parchment cover. This repair was chosen for two reasons, first it will give much needed protection to the textblock and second it is easily removable as it is not adhered or mechanically attached to the book. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-family: ";">Josephi Langii Caesaremontani, shelfmark F f25 (1612) is a full leather bound volume sewn on alum tawed thongs. On receipt it was in poor condition with the spine of the textblock missing a large portion, leaving the spine folds vulnerable. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-family: ";"> First the book was cleaned, creased pages relaxed and torn pages mended. In addition a back bead sewing was used to tack the original endbands in place. Once the textblock was stable a new point of attachment from board to textblock was needed. To do this I used sewing thread sewn around the original cords and slowly built up enough thread to create a cord. These new cords were then laced through the original lacing holes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-family: ";"> With the boards reattached a new Japanese paper lining was pasted on the spine with a flange extending onto the outside of the boards.

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Grammatia, Hebraea Eliae Levitae</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">, shelf mark HI a12 (1552) was in very poor condition on receipt. A large percentage of the leather was damaged or missing with the majority of the turn-in leather severely damaged. While the textblock was in fairly good condition the parchment guards, endpapers, title page and last few pages were worn and damaged. These pages were repaired and the parchment guards removed. They were then humidified, photographed, repaired and resewn into place with a new handmade endpaper attached. The existing endband was also tacked down using a back bead sewing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: ";">Once the textblock was stable a new point of attachment from board to textblock was needed. To do this I used sewing thread sewn around the original cords and slowly built up enough thread to create a cord. These new cords were then laced through the original lacing holes. Next a Japanese paper lining was pasted in place with a flange extending onto the outside of the boards. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ";"> Finally a toned archival calf leather reback was applied using Canadian wheat starch paste. Repairs to the missing portions of the cover leather were made using the German style. This involved pasting the repair leather to the reverse of the original and paring it from the back until it was the same thickness as the original. This method helped to maintain a smooth transition from original to new leather. Once the repairs were to the correct thickness the original leather was pasted to the cover boards and spine.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"></span></div>

On receipt <i>Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice</i> (Shelf mark HI c23, 1717) was in poor condition with the textblock separated from the case. The most interesting thing about the book was that the original sewing supports were still intact. Prior to any structural repair the textblock was cleaned, creases flattened and several pages washed in-situ using a suction table. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to maintain the as much original structure as possible I kept the original lacings, however reinforced them by lacing in new linen braid behind the supports. I was then able to re-sew the textblock around the original supports using the original sewing pattern and holes. The original endbands were also tacked into place using a back bead stitch to hold secure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the sewing was complete the sewn textblock received a new Japanese paper lining prior to recovering. Leather repairs were attached to the head and tailcaps where significant damage and loss had occurred as well as to the front tail end corner where a significant amount of leather was missing. These leather repairs were made using archival calf dyed with conservation leather dyes. After repairs were made the original leather was pasted to the book using Canadian wheat starch paste.</div>

The Carter both paper and photograph conservators in-house but no book conservator. I was asked to repair Paper and Paper-Making Ancient and Modern as it is used as a reference book in their conservation lab. On receipt the binding was broken at the joints leaving the spine vulnerable and exposed. New sewing supports were attached to the textblock and sewn around at the first, last and middle sections for added strength. The textblock then received a new linen lining to act as attachment to the case. Finally a new cloth reback was applied.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFF3WfZ0mCze6f6kb7Ec2lVLK2N0xs5iU3pdYy3YUthKK31NaTRVtFhhCJlFKpJJcHH4gqo5DsNW9tK8mulu0MYNx50X53XWBB9Eh_WFOj1N-Su7J2YrZYfm4_4dgnTWoAnwN2NbBT-lv/s1600/IMG_0109.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEFF3WfZ0mCze6f6kb7Ec2lVLK2N0xs5iU3pdYy3YUthKK31NaTRVtFhhCJlFKpJJcHH4gqo5DsNW9tK8mulu0MYNx50X53XWBB9Eh_WFOj1N-Su7J2YrZYfm4_4dgnTWoAnwN2NbBT-lv/s400/IMG_0109.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591735025910505970" border="0" /></a>View of front cover before conservation<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3ZA_w4bD9u_sDtuIqaX1ABxItQAFuVmXT52JqJ9ianTFES_1U7hdpFUW0-avIU6HbWRR3gKXFv4xFfuiYgn658IedDJkpj1o3iymjNNcYH-wDSqsqcTEQT3gPC6tVLsOoGsk_1oXKOjz/s1600/IMG_2456.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv3ZA_w4bD9u_sDtuIqaX1ABxItQAFuVmXT52JqJ9ianTFES_1U7hdpFUW0-avIU6HbWRR3gKXFv4xFfuiYgn658IedDJkpj1o3iymjNNcYH-wDSqsqcTEQT3gPC6tVLsOoGsk_1oXKOjz/s400/IMG_2456.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591734699213873986" border="0" /></a>View of front cover after conservation<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tbBWDBFM6oeYY7Z3Gh3_7kqTdkLwbBmayUnhNdODQu9Nwetmya90qK1c198_i5Ho9Ep2f0JghQrtVYfrB2zCeQzXVCm8St_oVAva7gK-Qj2nNWwKmXIQimm5Iwo2DO0Swa0s65-bEDaA/s1600/IMG_0113.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tbBWDBFM6oeYY7Z3Gh3_7kqTdkLwbBmayUnhNdODQu9Nwetmya90qK1c198_i5Ho9Ep2f0JghQrtVYfrB2zCeQzXVCm8St_oVAva7gK-Qj2nNWwKmXIQimm5Iwo2DO0Swa0s65-bEDaA/s400/IMG_0113.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591734017152004818" border="0" /></a>View of spine before conservation<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAU1t7l3AprH7JAq5IsCG1cgJhLd_x6wqkyeOIsGCafKbGiJCTFsnGU-I2BUJ3hBblHLZfgKegNEMcWNBBUYqa5w9TqWckV17MEg7i8lpr2TUhHPLiZbrKHQpK78PSDGwuCNlypGkWDmCf/s1600/IMG_2457.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAU1t7l3AprH7JAq5IsCG1cgJhLd_x6wqkyeOIsGCafKbGiJCTFsnGU-I2BUJ3hBblHLZfgKegNEMcWNBBUYqa5w9TqWckV17MEg7i8lpr2TUhHPLiZbrKHQpK78PSDGwuCNlypGkWDmCf/s400/IMG_2457.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591733610827810738" border="0" /></a>View of spine after conservation with cloth reback<br /></div>Becoming Supersonichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134891693557827491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037012154258306146.post-50229681718472629072011-03-31T06:39:00.008-05:002012-07-29T19:28:59.914-05:00Derry Book 4<div align="center">
The following book (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">GII</span> b9) received in-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">situ</span> repair rather than full conservation treatment. The volume was made up of pamphlets of different dimensions sewn together in one volume. On receipt eight of the pamphlets were loose and in danger of being separated from the rest of the volume. First the loose sections were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">resewn</span> in place around the original sewing supports. Next, to provide additional stability to the structure a new Japanese spine lining was pasted to the spine without removal of the cover leather. </div>

<div align="center">

<br />
<div align="center">
The following images give further information as to how this repair was carried out. This method was developed by Alessandro <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Scola</span> here at Derry & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Raphoe</span>, I found the method very innovative and effective.</div>

<br />
<div align="center">
First two strips of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">reemay</span> were slipped between the leather and the spine. In the case of this book the leather came away from the spine creating a natural hollow, making this process relatively easy.</div>

<div align="center">
Next the book was placed in a finishing press to compress the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">textblock</span> in preparation for the lining. A camera stand was used to hold the boards and provide support to the joints during this process.</div>

Next I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">pasted</span> strips of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">spine</span> lining paper and put them between the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">reemay</span> strips (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">reemay</span>, pasted paper, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">reemay</span>). The strips should be longer on the side with the paper, but enough <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">reemay</span> needs to be on the other side to pull them through. Once in place I pulled the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">reemay</span>, paper and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">reemay</span> sandwich from one side to the other leaving a little extra Japanese paper on either side of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">textblock</span>. The piece of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">reemay</span> closest to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">textblock</span> was then pulled out and the second piece left in place. After all the panels were lined, leaving the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">reemay</span> in place I wrapped the book with a bandage to give some pressure on the new spine lining. <br />

<br />
<div class="wp-caption-text">
Finally, after enough drying time I removed the bandage and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">reemay</span>.

<i>Attorney General (For Ireland) V Irish Society & Others</i> is a compilation of court documents dating from 1891. On receipt it was discovered that the book was made up of several pamphlets sewn together at some point into one volume. Prior to conservation the volume was in poor condition with the sewing failing, leather covering broken down as well as poor attachment of textblock to case. </div>
<br />
<div align="center">
Conservation began with the textblock. The old adhesive was removed from the spine to make way for sewing repairs. The first three, last three and three sections in the center of the textblock were re-sewn around three new linen tapes to stabilize the sewing and provide a new attachment point to the case. Once sewing repair was complete a new Japanese paper spine lining was pasted on the spine along with a handmade paper lining for added support. </div>
<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
To repair the case I decided to give the binding a new cloth reback. Cloth was chosen over leather as the original leather was of poor quality, making a cloth reback more economical and sympathetic to the binding. The original spine was removed and a couple millimeters of the cover leather was removed to make way for the cloth reback. Next the boards were reattached by pasting the new linen tapes and Japanese paper flange into a slot in the cover boards. Finally the new cloth spine was attached under the lifted leather on the cover boards and turned in. The original spine was placed in an envelope for safe keeping and a box was made for the book.</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
It should be noted that the original binding had a leather yap around the three edges of each board. The majority of this overhanging leather was missing, leaving several areas of ragged leather. It was decided to turn-in this leather and adhere it to the inside of the boards using paste. The change in the binding was noted in the conservation report.</div>

The thin paper it was printed on combined with poor storage caused a great deal of damage along the edges of the poster. Like the others this poster was dry cleaned and tape was removed prior to humidification. Temporary repairs were applied to areas of great weakness along the edges for added support during humidification and lining. Once the preparation work was completed the poster was lined with Japanese paper and paste. Areas of loss were then filled with repair paper. On completion the poster was more stable and able to lay flat.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8p9nYIEpIXNiDkeE5-haGROYPDxPGU2NvanXUNiWfFeuILGeyj26m8pyceqftci9d2rskEQcxzyx_Yv0Cq7JAdwH9LY-GKEwTidKSHt-nVVteB6joPlre5zyYt8N9SKffYFzFJqpVhWH4/s1600/004bt01.JPG"><img style="display: block;

The client was keen to frame several of his collection, however they needed relaxing, repair and lining before framing. Prior to any wet repair the poster was dry cleaned and several pieces of tape were removed from the front and back of the poster. Additionally, several temporary repairs were applied to the poster before relaxing and lining, this gave stability to the weakened areas before the lining was applied. Once relaxed the lining was applied with wheat starch paste and the areas of loss were filled with repair paper. On completion the poster was stronger and able to lay flat.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAy8LxsfUNweBeMBPTVpCwYX7Ab7UBE53N-zcq456cVgYXQP8dpA1t3C-NxWtQpql4CVdvuhKoSDzprn0iKUP15UjO0j6XTfDaMCvBAFreEZ5RB7ZRSF0IUID1-VkIf7plSASWjWE9d7h3/s1600/003bt01.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAy8LxsfUNweBeMBPTVpCwYX7Ab7UBE53N-zcq456cVgYXQP8dpA1t3C-NxWtQpql4CVdvuhKoSDzprn0iKUP15UjO0j6XTfDaMCvBAFreEZ5RB7ZRSF0IUID1-VkIf7plSASWjWE9d7h3/s400/003bt01.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586476942504299378" border="0" /></a>Poster before conservation<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghL9Jn-OV5BKVkaYK4u8q0RD1K5Y0rqi15uy9TCrXk2UzDCVy8r32RfmpIFg-46OTCtBccsysscQfeGEoDCC8559iWOTuJyXhnDfPsrqLVTqAMwv0OqEaT8mSCD4ly4LiRqrt_alrdjx7V/s1600/003bt04.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghL9Jn-OV5BKVkaYK4u8q0RD1K5Y0rqi15uy9TCrXk2UzDCVy8r32RfmpIFg-46OTCtBccsysscQfeGEoDCC8559iWOTuJyXhnDfPsrqLVTqAMwv0OqEaT8mSCD4ly4LiRqrt_alrdjx7V/s400/003bt04.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586476231657223250" border="0" /></a>Close up example of damage before conservation<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH7_dbMTQT4kfldNSi0eqD4e2OjSoM27tAIM1Uz2M-BJ78TyoNDQPpX543WgJOGdOPYK16g00w7Itu8UmewEMTxOIjaGsNHtZ1GdDg0Kce7DHE7rGVuVRJVHJKzK993_PF1jjeQuNBXX33/s1600/003at02.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 393px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH7_dbMTQT4kfldNSi0eqD4e2OjSoM27tAIM1Uz2M-BJ78TyoNDQPpX543WgJOGdOPYK16g00w7Itu8UmewEMTxOIjaGsNHtZ1GdDg0Kce7DHE7rGVuVRJVHJKzK993_PF1jjeQuNBXX33/s400/003at02.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586475591448097570" border="0" /></a>Close up of paper repair to bottom right corner<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xOSUd1wn8JSh1AGOOOz9uvugdLHMJLIRbKOEHD3ptuzybmjxTZrzXULsplz_K4wS3G-I7JmzykZw5oKA6LjZawVLEq7GbAdvteURmYnGWLMXnPBe6TE_h-jDw9CZB38K6d9s0m_2xbsN/s1600/003at01.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 362px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7xOSUd1wn8JSh1AGOOOz9uvugdLHMJLIRbKOEHD3ptuzybmjxTZrzXULsplz_K4wS3G-I7JmzykZw5oKA6LjZawVLEq7GbAdvteURmYnGWLMXnPBe6TE_h-jDw9CZB38K6d9s0m_2xbsN/s400/003at01.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586474841384528226" border="0" /></a>Poster after lining and repair<br /></div>Becoming Supersonichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12134891693557827491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037012154258306146.post-10411151053519152942011-03-21T04:13:00.007-05:002011-03-21T05:13:27.680-05:00Private Work: TR002<div style="text-align: center;">I received this poster as part of a private collection of airline posters. On receipt they were tightly rolled and unable to lay flat. In addition there were a number of tears around the edges from poor storage. In order to strengthen them I decided to line the back with a thin Japanese tissue using wheat starch paste. Additional cosmetic repairs were required on the front of the posters where tears and losses had occurred.

On receipt the sewing cords were broken at the joint leaving the boards detached from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">textblock</span>. The original tanned leather sewing cords were severely deteriorated and no longer supporting the sewing structure. In addition the front and back endpapers and last page of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">textblock</span> were folded and damaged.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Due to the sewing cords being so deteriorated they were removed and new linen cords were laced through the original sewing. For a detailed set of images describing this process please go <a href="http://derryandraphoe.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/progress-report-1/">here</a>. Paper repair and guarding was done to the endpapers, last page and first section of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">textblock</span>. All repaired pages were then re-sewn to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">textblock</span> around the new sewing supports. The repaired <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">textblock</span> was then given a Japanese paper patch lining/flange to consolidate the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">textblock</span> and attach the boards. The Japanese paper flange and the frayed out sewing supports were attached to the outside of the boards using wheat starch paste. For more images on this process please go <a href="http://derryandraphoe.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/progress-report-2/">here</a>.</div>

With the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">textblock</span> consolidated and the boards reattached work on the leather case began by cutting it into three pieces (front cover, spine and back cover). This option was chosen as the leather case was shrunk and did not fit around the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">textblock</span>. A new leather <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">reback</span> was attached to the spine with paste and tied up to give definition around the raised bands. For full photographic details go <a href="http://derryandraphoe.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/time-to-reback/">here</a>. Finally the front and back cover leather and spine was reattached to the book and a custom box was constructed. </div>

<span style="font-style: italic;">De Angelis Angelioque Honimvm Praesidio Atqve Cvstodia, Tigvri</span> (1595) is a limp vellum binding sewn on alum tawed thongs laced through the cover. On receipt the tawed supports were broken at the point of lacing-in, leaving the textblock loose from the cover. In addition the upper endpaper was missing, leaving the parchment guard loosely attached to the textblock. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Repairs to the textblock included paper repairs to the title page, back endpaper and guarding the first three sections. A new endpaper was also toned and cut to fit the textblock and reattached with the original parchment guard. Prior to reattaching the parchment guard was humidified, flattened and photographed.</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
Once the paper repair was completed thin braid was attached on top of the original tawed cords by sewing through the original sewing holes and around the old cord and new braid. Braid was chosen rather than new tawed thongs to allow the repaired textblock to fit back into the original case. Once the braid was attached the textblock was given a Japanese patch paper lining adhered with wheat starch paste. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The parchment case was dry cleaned using a smoke sponge and wet cleaned with 50:50 IMS and water. The case was humidified and left to dry around the repaired textblock to maintain its original shape. A toned parchment patch was applied to the spine where a hole left the textblock exposed. Finally the new braid was laced through the original lacing holes and the book was given a custom box.</div>

On receipt the upper board was completely detached from the case, the first and last sections were coming away from the textblock and an additional 13-page pamphlet that was previously sewn in was loose.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The textblock was completely removed from the case and the original spine linings removed. Next the loose sections were resewn into place and the 13-page pamphlet attached before the title page. New spine linings and a cloth flange were adhered and three rows of saddle stitching were sewn through the cloth for added strength. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To repair the case a Japanese paper lined piece of colored Moriki was pasted under the original green paper covering, attached to the back of the original spine covering and pasted under the the lower board paper. The repair was then turned in under the lifted pastedowns on the upper and lower boards. The paper covering along the edges of the board had worn away exposing the book board. In order to consolidate the board edges and protect the board a neutral brown kozo tissue was attached under the original decorative paper on the outside and attached under the original turnins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Finally the textblock was reattached to the case by slotting the new stretch cotton flange under the lifted pastedowns. Japanese paper hinges were then attached to the inside joints for added staility. Finally a book shoe was constructed to provide textblock support for the book while sitting on a shelf. This type of enclosure was chosen to help prevent the large, heavy textblock from sagging and pulling away from the case.</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr_ZE4Dw-LzCxvi1sDXNUTdTpH8SpoCNQ7yG_3wSZu-Pkd0XrRMCjr5wadu_GCqrrS5RHukMR6YRm37KndU5_VhfealqTIsgMxtEzgcQ3h2vljUVcnAPo9fdeopwdpKcR2UvE4Oevn8HOa/s1600/135bt01.jpg"><img style="display: block;

On receipt it was missing a little over 50% of the original spine. The board to textblock attachment was intact and held together with three strong cords on each board. Due to the strong board attachment it was decided that a new Moriki spine piece would be slotted in under the cover board cloth and wrapped around the spine. Japanese hinges were also attached at the inner joints for added strength and stability.

On receipt the spine was worn and breaking at the joints, however the inner joints and board to textblock attachment was strong. The original spine piece was removed from the binding and a new tinted cave paper spine was attached under the lifted cover leather. This new spine provided a strong stable surface for the original spine piece to be attached as well as a natural hollow to give the book a more stable opening. In addition to the spine repair the four board corners were consolidated and covered with the same tinted cave paper.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQaJUeb564m2A8pOcfNE5muz7U-qgmswSpNIwvt2MTkzVGa9ygmggWtCKeO88uAy6a2fDA9DtScn51jmg8ev_w-NWXwW4Eu3O5AjRrYhpWIISXLtJaBp8nR1wOvMJDa6i79Xcctt7U-93C/s1600/Img0016.jpg"><img style="text-align: center;

On receipt the upper board was completely detached and the lower board joint was cracked and worn. The upper board was reattached using tinted solvent set Japanese tissue on the outside joint and a colored Kozo Japanese paper hinge on the inside joint. The lower board received the same treatment to help add stability to the failing joint. The worn corners on the upper and lower boards were consolidated and covered with the same tinted Japanese paper as the outside joint repair. In addition to the joint repairs the title page and first page of the textblock were repaired using colored Kozo paper. Finally the book was given a chemise and girdle enclosure to prevent wear on the repaired book.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxcsybsHK6xwjvMmWNTMWjDhVctbn5piiu-KIbHYNPJqSEkizyQ8EnMhDUDSA-fusbEIZ1Ei5qncIg7LfqT3ENug_dvg4HaoCRRtOE0rT7AL8x56Xv-MGTAK4joBJtgocEuZmHQ04PJ0V/s1600/Img0014.jpg"><img style="display: block;

On receipt the leather joints were cracked and broken in several places. The joints on the inside of the boards were also broken, however the original sewing cords were still holding the boards to the textblock. To create a stronger joint the spine was completely removed from the binding. Tinted kozo paper was then used to create two hinges, one at the front and another at the back with paper left at the head and tail to turn in. The spine piece was then reattached to the boards and turned in to complete the case. Interior Japanese paper hinges were also added for added strength.<br /><br />In addition to the joint damage several areas of the marbled paper covering were abraded, torn, or missing. The missing areas were filled in using a soft western handmade paper that was later treated with SC6000. Finally the book was given a chemise and girdle enclosure.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMEwVzjsLn4hh8Om1peqm_gHNkZYfKxFl40FuMHBdazVG-_0nSL4QNPkIL2GjY-9n8FSswd_vabk52Qs0cCQk0Gml8QtwVxMSP-yS1JmYoREermH2ChvalVTwOZS8kyRqL33f_53Rhwm4U/s400/Img0005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483102216813356242" border="0" />Spine and upper board before conservation.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cCjL0PBC59NZKSMepWvpwlu04x_myBVOvMRYUmtX6VqdxMeG2oSvEr6rpiwT-ntgnkN0IUYH-6-EonucuwofZMhHPhRSYP0LUvBkyfUM1UOIACXLSHFcauZKP3zvLSBj38ssZpJ_MBs5/s400/Img0023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483103595074300226" border="0" />Spine and upper board after conservation.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9jqOgZ0K3oCk_SY-siyymcnYN7MacFe-2NtHBEV6U6yq67qMvruZA1qspCoM8L6fgOVDJ-n9z6hcQHGuY_pLKTbhCwqVn6CtCyxH97_1DTfHqfNC9uJc-2uQBrdPROPuiYJjBFEWiEVe5/s400/Img0006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483102397373524290" border="0" />Foredge and lower board before conservation.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC0y1StAJn7mGXrUBiWBmyUprwxCYn5Enn-9E4QSAb0DnYeCe3LcNvFjnfPd3fylOf_L4nMUCoaaNe3ouDJ4bNkvdUegT6Ieqg2R_BpUTNwLKO3oB29iaBvi7Or0UbaSgRnMzTAPYpixdv/s400/Img0024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483103681360638034" border="0" />Foredge and lower board after conservation.<br /></div><br /><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1gN1glB4xDH2Ab-M03L3OKFWGMHTiRtzE1ImohqKBhh6LxmXGoF12MD3pmi3e6V6wIF0te1ZN851_Zc2Z4vrsQa8OUVaNjQkmsrypSZCob7DbNmcpa0sI3l9V8uX-_RZtEQqKy5bcQX96/s400/Img0007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483106527373713250" border="0" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Textblock opening before conservation.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNVg9DtXpQMDW-Rb5JUlvhZBbnBZXp7EnwkMUi_9AujDu-T8n1nb0VJ59m6lxKEJr6O7HJyEcCpIHcKOz2aLB8aZ5uqV-7SvRcq_M5fkIncj8mV3Jls_MWlatt44tIfQYE73O1bJA6RgvT/s400/Img0025.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483103782398562594" border="0" />Textblock opening after conservation.<br /></div><br /><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumzbb7UXG-nNCb02VbFd9DxRbkb-httyqNQwcT8f8YF0QbrWjQLDBcbw7q0KJd_fzYaPXV_dtb0yxeJOg8Up15sJJhqB1PsHMkb1NssXKkn_cTeMUrDJnvq4FQrXrYVH1pNIlEqOj8P4e/s400/Img0009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483102577693984242" border="0" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Upper board endpaper before conservation.<br /><br /></div><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_Bm-hrukV79MJ73H1VD5-hlFt-0S3ZtIrU6wddtmJIfiBIUDheG6go0qIgD5OU53Ueuw-EDWn6dOsY8OxqYXqXVamF7NThXRuP9WUghyphenhyphenXnlIo_Ehfv6jpp7uMEHPrVxoLK9o5neTcWUC/s400/Img0030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483103878790482258" border="0" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Upper board endpaper after conservation.<br /><br /></div><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtHwZD59iQAuuhr6zJxeG7uRgkboR36cuUw2B0a-DT-GJS7iVJh8VcgHN2B18R4FtBuDaQGFmeFHdyM-hYu5R8073A5KW-eIL0m4cuMhInS6aFOz26fUU8wHJRfbkDnxWzjoRmKHQ6vq_/s400/Img0010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483102485813675570" border="0" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Lower board endpaper before conservation.

On receipt the leather was no longer attached to the spine or the boards, with the turnins acting as the only point of attachment. In addition the leather was brittle and shrunk causing it to no longer fit properly around the textblock. To resolve this the case was cut into three pieces and given two Japanese paper repairs at the joint to fit around the textblock again. The boards had also become delaminated and were pasted back together. The sewing was holding strong, however the tanned leather supports had become brittle and broken throughout. To solve this problem the original supports were removed leaving the sewing intact. New supports were then threaded through the sewing and used to lace the boards back on the textblock.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444447406313252738" style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

No date was found on the book as the title page was missing a large portion. The vellum slips were broken with the case and textblock completely separated. In addition exposure to dry conditions caused the case to shrink and crack at the spine in several places. At some point the book was exposed to a spill of some kind as well as a large amount of dirt.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
