The Blank History of the Blank Book
Loading...
Uploaded by CGPublishing on Oct 14, 2011
Blank books, or bound record-keeping structures, have always had separate traditions within the bookbinding craft. These traditions are not always well documented in histories of the book, or in manuals of bookbinding. Examining the material culture of blank book bindings can reveal how manuscript traditions carried on far beyond the advent of print. Scholars have begun to look at how record-keeping traditions helped shape ways of thinking, This paper will introduce the bibliography of the blank book, and describe the sorts of questions blank books can answer. Material from Harvard's Baker Library 'Medici and Barbarini Account Book Collection', and the various blank books of craftspeople and merchants held at the Winterthur Library in Delaware will both inform this presentation.
