2014/07/31This film shows the process of binding a codex using tenth-century Eastern Mediterranean techniques from the Coptic, Syriac, Georgian, and Byzantine book-binding traditions.
V-shaped cuts in the paper create sewing stations, where the gatherings are sewn together.
The gatherings are sewn together with a linen thread and a curved needle using a technique called "loop-stitch sewing."
A file is used to bevel the spine edges of wooden boards for the front and back covers of the codex.
Shallow grooves are notched in the wooden boards to hold the threads that will attach the book block.
The wooden boards are sewn to the book block.
A piece of coarse fabric is pasted over the spine to reinforce and compact the structure and to level the surface.
To create the cover, tanned leather is cut and pasted over the spine and wooden boards.
Fastening straps made of interlaced leather are attached to the wooden boards and cover to securely close the codex.
This video accompanies the exhibition The Codex and Crafts in Late Antiquity, curated by Georgios Boudalis, Head of the Book and Paper Conservation Laboratory Museum of Byzantine Culture, Thessaloniki, Greece, and organized by the Bard Graduate Center.
