Dos-a-dos limp vellum tacketed binding model.
Top image | Bottom image

Interpretation of, Mandatorum Exitus, 1589, Lelio Buccapadulio Camerari, a 1579 Italian limp tacketed ledger style binding. Interpretation is based on a ledger created by the Canonici Sancti Petri, the priests who celebrate in St. Peter’s. The "Camerarius / Camerlengus,” or administrator in this case was Lelio Buccapadulio. The register records the payments, receipts, and other information for the celebrations of the Cononici Sancti Petri for the years 1587-1590.

Full limp vellum dos-a-dos binding; first textblock sewn on 3 alum-tawed leather thongs with secondary sewing onto 2 split leather thongs; second textblock of individually sewn pamphlets in paper wrappers with vellum spines; pamphlets sewn onto 2 slit leather thongs; both textblocks secured into wrappers with vellum tackets; leather ties at fore-edges held in place with tackets. 23 x 16.5 x 7 cm. Bound 2011.

In my interpretation of this binding I included vellum fragments and leaves that show expenses and income for my own private binding "business" that were printed in the Voglare typeface designed by Stephen Farrell and based on a 1601 Florentine manuscript written by an anonymous clerk.
