Description
English
Two hundred and twenty years younger than its display case neighbour Les Ordonnances et édicts du très chrestien roy de France Charles neufiesme du nom […], this item is a good example of the economic measures taken to reduce the costs of bookbinding. This item is sewn on only two supports, as opposed to the three double sewing supports seen on the spine of the previous example. The supports appear to have been lost over time, as well as the entire outer binding, although their loss allows for yet another stellar demonstration of the book sewing process. This particular sewing style shows the “sawn-in” sewing tech-nique. As to be seen in Les Ordonnances, sewing supports were raised from the spine and had to be ac-commodated in the outer leather binding of the spine. Changes in aesthetic tastes had an influence in bookbinding techniques. To ensure that a spine would not display raised bands, cuts would first be made into the spine with a saw. The supporting sewing cords would then be aligned with, and inserted into, the cuts, allowing the sewing supports to be hidden and providing for a flat spine.
Français
Deux cents ans plus jeune que son voisin, Les Ordonnances et édicts du très chrestien roy de France Charles neufiesme du nom [...] est un bon exemple des mesures prises pour réduire les coûts de production. La couture est faite sur deux rubans, contrairement aux trois rubans doubles de l’exemplaire précédent. Les rubans utilisés semblent d’ailleurs avoir disparu, tout comme la couverture, ce qui laisse voir les traces de l’utilisation du grecquage. Il s’agit d’une technique qui consiste à creuser, en quelque sorte, à l’aide d’une scie à grecquer, le corps de l’ouvrage afin que les nerfs, généralement visibles sur le dos du livre, s’intègrent à celui-ci, offrant ainsi un dos complètement lisse.
