Humanists and Bookbinders: The Origins and Diffusion of Humanistic Bookbinding, 1459–1559 - Hardcover
Synopsis
When it was first published in 1990, this book was an important study (the first for over sixty years) of north Italian and Parisian bindings by a distinguished authority who has elegantly considered the twin claims of ornament and patronage. The decorative possibilities of book binding were transformed during the third quarter of the fifteenth century through the work of antiquaries and scribes centred in Padua. Gilt-tooled elements taken from Islamic bookbindings and metal work, antique monuments and inscriptions and classical gems were adapted to create a new style. Italian men of letters and collectors enthusiastic for the New Learning carried the Paduan fashion to Central and Northern Europe, and Francis I's respect for learning and the patronage of two successive kings kindled a final blaze of creative brilliance in sixteenth-century France.

From the blurb: "In this important study of north Italian and Parisian bindings (the first for over sixty years), the author has elegantly considered the twin claims of ornament and patronage. The decorative possibilities of bookbinding were transformed during the third quarter of the fifteenth century. Gilt-tooling, polychrome filigree, architectural and plaquette ornament replaced gothic decoration in blind. This transformation, wholly independent of the contemporaneous invention of printing in Germany, was the work of a small group of antiquaries and scribes centred in Padua. Elements taken from Islamic bookbindings and metalwork, antique monuments and inscriptions, and classical gems in the Gonzaga and Medici collections were adapted to create a new style. Italian men of letters, foreign students returning from the universities of Bologna and Padua, and collectors enthusiastic for the New Learning carried the Paduan fashion to Central and Northern Europe. Francis I's respect for learning and the patronage of two successive kings combined to kindle a final blaze of creative brilliance in sixteenth-century France."
