Title A name given to the resource Divini Platonis Opera omnia, Description An account of the resource The binding of this work has been elaborately blind-stamped with a number of decorative tools. Note the manuscript waste visible at the top of the spine; again, materials were reused wherever possible to add in the binding process, especially in areas that would not be visible to the customer, such as the inner covers. The lighter calf juxtaposed with darker areas would suggest that this binding was originally dyed a darker brown and there has been either a fading or reversion back to the original colour due to sunlight exposure and/or the mere passage of time.

And “I” before a backwards, upside down C would represent “500”, offering us an alternative to what was generally rendered as ML.

Title A name given to the resource Bartoli da Saxoferrato Prima super Infortiato Description An account of the resource The pages that serve to form the inner boards of this work are actually composed of printer’s waste (printed sheets that could not be used by the printer or binder in a final copy). Boards of this nature were created by gluing several sheets of paper together, offering a lighter form of cover than the boards of thick wood which were generally used in this era. Here we see a sheet that has come straight from the printer’s press; it has not been folded or cut into a gathering, allowing us to infer it is printer’s waste and not something salvaged from a previously bound book. This sheet was probably from a “trial run” of the printer’s; the first printings from an imposition would be verified in order to see that no typographical or other errors were to be found in the setting of frame of type. Anything that did not pass would be recycled.

Title A name given to the resource Canzoniere Description An account of the resource This image depicts the bookplate of Bernard Coleridge, 2nd Baron Coleridge. If the name Coleridge sets off the ringing of bells, it should, as Bernard’s grandfather was the nephew of famed English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). While it cannot be proven that the book was handled by the famed poet, an inscription the inner flyleaf does say “bought in Padua” in 1814, which was during Samuel’s lifetime. The bookplate depicts what is surely the Coleridge’s family library in Chanter’s House, Devon, England.
