Interestingly, this particular item is sewn on three double cord supports, quite an elaborate architecture for a book of this size. As time passes and bookbinders become more concerned with shortcuts for economic reasons, the sewing of a book will generally be less sophisticated and, consequently, solid.

Title A name given to the resource Colloquiorum: Desid. Erasmi Roterodami familiarium decerpta, cum notis illustrata. […] Description An account of the resource 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 technique. As to be seen in Les Ordonnances, sewing supports were raised from the spine and had to be accommodated 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.

Parchment (pigskin) has been laid over wooden boards. The parchment has then been hand-tooled and embossed with various tools to produce various designs of geometric forms. This book was most likely part of the collection of the Jesuit community, due to the device of the Jesuits (IHS) impressed into the front cover, and the emblem of the Virgin Mary (crown over pierced heart superimposed with the letters MAR) on the back cover. Now lost, the covers would have closed together by means of leather bands held by metal clasps. Seating for the metal hardware is still visible on the fore edges of the covers.
