Binding
The book is sewn on four sewing stations (two pairs) linked to wooden boards with a leather half cover.
The book has half cover of brown-reddish leather decorated with blind tooled motifs. Single straight lines divide the space in squares where they cross, forming a "X". On the right board, a single circle is placed at the intersections. The codex has slit-braidendbands sewn to the text block with a thread of animal origin. Not every quire has tiedowns. The quires that don't have tiedowns, don't have additional holes even.Sewing Stations
