This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 85 gsm, hand-laid Arches 100% cotton rag archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are red, gold, and green silk, and its bookmark is red goatskin. Its spine is covered in aniline dyed goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Katherine Brett at Payhembury Papers in Cambridge, England. The endpapers were letter-pressed in Italy.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this book is a commemorative coin from Venice, Italy. Paper and Venice have the same nemeses: water, fire, and pests. Barrier islands will save Venice; you can keep this book going for centuries.
This book is roughly 7 x 10” and contains a few more than 150 blank pages.
