the province rather of the goldsmith than the bookbinder
proper. Valuable books, and the majority of books were then
valuable, were covered with gold or silver and ornamented with
ivory and jewels. But since all manuscripts could not have been
of such notable value, nor their owners rich enough to ornament
them in so costly a manner, a humbler style of binding grew up,
which, employing leather as a suitable and inexpensive material,
jaid the foundation of bookbinding proper as we now understand it.
Few jewelled bindings have come down to our time, for they
were too valuable to escape the cupidity of rulers and the fury of
reformers. In England, the wholesale destruction under Edward VI.
of all vestiges of the old learning wrought irremediable havoc
amongst all the fine libraries, and such rich bindings as might
have till then escaped were swept away under the Act “to strip
off and pay into the King’s treasury all gold and silver found on
Popish books of devotion.”
Abroad, this destruction was not quite so wholesale, and in
all the more important libraries, and a few private collections,
examples are to be found. Much of the ornamentation was formed
of enamel, and the centre was frequently an ivory plaque, while
the corners were studded with crystals or precious stones. In
very few cases, however, were these ivories carved for the bindings

Vi
on which they are found, but were used, like the precious stones,
as being in themselves very beautiful and suitable for the purpose
of ornamentation. In many cases, too, we find that the MS. on
which the binding is now placed is not the one for which it was
originally made, so that, although a fair number of these early
bindings are in existence, there are not many which have come
down to our times in an unaltered condition. The two covers of the
Ashburnham Gospels are very fine examples of the art of two
different periods. The lower cover, Celtic in design, though perhaps
of German execution, being of the 8th century, while the upper
cover, though more splendid, is of considerably later work.
From a very early time deer skin and cheveril were used in
the monasteries both for binding the books themselves and for
making cases for the costlier bindings. These cases were soon
discarded, and are rarely to be found, though some early Irish
examples are still extant.
The most interesting and notable of our early leather bindings
is that on the little volume containing the Gospel of St. John,
taken from the tomb of St. Cuthbert, and which, after many
wanderings, is now in the library at Stonyhurst. The boards of
thin wood are covered with red leather, and in the centre of
the obverse cover is a raised ornament of Celtic design; above
and below are small oblong panels filled with interlaced work
executed with a style and coloured with yellow paint. The
reverse cover is worked with a geometrical design picked out in
yellow. As to the date of this binding, there are different opinions,
some assigning it to as early as the 1oth century, others to the
12th, while a misguided few have gone so far as to call it
Elizabethan. The style of the binding undoubtedly points to the
earliest date, and its beautiful preservation and freshness are no
disproof of its antiquity, since such volumes were usually carried
in a leather case. The flyleaves of the book, however, are of
Vil.
MS. much later than the roth century, though these may very well
have been added later to prevent the first and last leaf of the
Gospel from being rubbed by the binding. We may safely conclude
that if the book was bound as late as the 12th or 13th century the
binding upon it was copied from an earlier one.
By the 12th century England was at the head of all foreign
nations as regards binding, and thanks to the researches of
Mr. Weale, can fully substantiate its claim to that position.
London, Winchester, Durham and a few other important towns
and monasteries, had each their schools of binding, and from the
few examples which have been preserved we can judge of the
excellence of the work. The covers of the books were tooled
with numbers of small dies, and the beauty of the binding
depended as much upon their individual delicacy and beauty as
upon their arrangement, which, though infinitely varied, was very
formal.
Durham was especially noteworthy for its style of binding,
and there are still preserved in its Cathedral library a series of
books bound for Bishop Pudsey towards the end of the 12th
century, perhaps the finest monuments of this class of work in
existence. The dies are very varied, and represent men seated and
on horseback, fabulous animals of various descriptions and many
formal designs. Much of the ornamentation is formed of fine
interlaced chain work, such as is generally associated with Venetian
binding. The early Winchester work, of which a beautiful example
is in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, though not so
elaborate as that of York, and without the interlacing pattern, has
dies of equally beautiful execution. In all these early bindings
the main design of the side is a parallelogram formed by lines of
dies, but the centre is filled up with circles and portions of circles,
a style peculiar to England. The next two centuries do not
seem to have produced much good work, though we can see

from such of the account books and fabric rolls as have been
preserved that it was largely practised, and even the names of a
number of individual binders are known.
The most important foreign bindings of the time were produced
in the Low Countries and in France; Germany producing little
that is noteworthy, with the exception of some fine hand-worked
leather bindings of figure subjects or floral patterns. In these
the background is cut away to a slight depth, and then diapered
over with a punch, producing a very rich effect. The Netherlandish
binders seem to have taken the lead, and beside doing beautiful
work, introduced many improvements in the art.
The invention of printing, in 1454, forms naturally an important
epoch in the history of bookbinding. When books began to be
issued in such great numbers it was necessary that the bindings also
should be produced more rapidly, and though they necessarily lost
much of their individuality, they retained in the various countries
a national distinctive style. Bindings after this period fall into two
distinct divisions, trade bindings and private bindings. It was the
custom of the printer or stationer to issue his books ready bound
for general sale, but the richer private collectors continued to have
their books bound in a more sumptuous manner, using as a rule
damask and velvet rather than leather. Many binders stamped
their names upon their bindings either in full or concealed in a
rebus; some even going so far as to ornament their books with
their own portraits.
Amongst the more important binders of Germany at this period
we may mention especially John Richenbach, of Geislingen. His
bindings, which are of pigskin, bear full inscriptions stamped upon
the sides, giving not only his own name as binder, and the date
of the binding, but often the name of the person for whom the book
-was bound. Johannes Fogel, who used some very delicate stamps,
bound the copy of the Mazarine Bible now in Eton College library,
and also another copy of the same book lately sold in New York.
Anthony Koburger, of Nuremburg, one of the most important
printers of the 15th century, bound his books in a very elaborate
and distinctive manner. He gave up the use of small dies and by
means of large tools covered the side with a handsome and
harmonious design. He also printed the title of the book in gold
upon the top of the obverse cover. It seems to have been in
Germany that half-binding came into fashion, for we find many
specimens of the 15th century with the wooden boards left
without covering, and the back formed of tooled pigskin or leather,
the sides being in some cases fastened to the wooden boards by
thin strips of metal.
Italian bindings have little interest, being as a rule ornamented
solely with varieties of plain interlaced patterns, probably Saracenic
in origin, though not unlike those found on early English bindings.
They have, however, a few peculiarities in the finishing, amongst
which we may notice the custom of putting four clasps, one
at top and bottom as well as the two ordinary ones; and
another, more rarely found, no doubt introduced after the fall of
Constantinople in 1453, and copied from the bindings of Greek
MSS., of running a groove down the edge of the cover, a
peculiarity of Eastern European binding.
The most important event in the history of Netherlandish
binding was the invention of the panel stamp about the middle of
the 14th century. By its means the whole of the side of a small
book could be decorated from one block, and as soon as books
of small size began to issue in large numbers from the printing press
its economic advantages were recognised, and it was universally
used in the Low Countries, France and England Inthe
Netherlands trade guilds were very strict, not only the binder’s
trade-mark, but his designs being protected, and from the archives
of these guilds a good deal can be gathered about the bindings, and

the career of individual binders traced. Among the early bindings
are afew curiously produced from metal stamps of large size which
have the appearance of the hand-worked productions of the period.
The ornamentation of later Netherlandish binding is generally
formal, the centre panel of spiral foliage containing birds and
beasts, while round the edge runs a motto or text with not
unfrequently the name of the binder; indeed, these bindings give
more explicit information than those of any other country. Such
examples were produced by Johannes Bollcaert with the motto,
“Ob laudem christi hunc librum recte ligavi Johannes Bollcaert,”
others, very similar, by Ludovicus Bloc, by the numerous members of
the family of Gavere, and many others. An Antwerp binding has
the inscription, “Johannes de Woudix Antwerpie me _ fecit.”
Pictorial panels do not seem to have been so commonly used as
they were in France, but there are some of extremely good
execution. A very beautiful specimen bears the initials B.K., and
has on one side the Adoration of the Magi, and on the other the
Annunciation.
From France we have a very large series of panel stamps, many
of great beauty. Jehan Norins uses two large panels, one containing
the vision of the Emperor Augustus (47a caed/z ), and having his initials
at the base, the other with St. Bernard, and a border containing the
Sybils. This binding has been many times reproduced, but the
initials I.N. have always been misread I.H. Norins used also a
small panel with a formal acorn pattern containing his name in full.
Alexandre Alyat, a Paris stationer about 1500, used a large stamp with
a figure of Christ and the emblems of the Passion. André Boule,
Guillaume Baudart and Hemon Lefevre used panels depicting the
martyrdom of S. Sebastian. Jehan Dupin and others, a panel with
four saints. P. Gerard, a representation of the Crucifixion. The
number of French panel stamps, however, is so large, that it is
impossible to attempt to enumerate them in a small space.

The binders of Rouen and Caen produced bindings most
nearly resembling English work, owing, no doubt, to their intimate
business relations with this country. As they produced English
service books in large numbers, they would probably bind them for
the English market, so that it is quite probable that even many of
the bindings with representative English devices upon them were
produced in Normandy. Among the Rouen binders we may
specially note J. Richard, Jean Huvin, Jehan Moulin who used
panels with a punning allusion to his name representing a miller,
and R. Macé, all of whose bindings bear their name in full.
The introduction of the Art of Printing into England, and the
consequent influx of foreign craftsmen, materially changed the
character of English binding, and destroyed its distinctive style.
The old customs lingered for a while, as we see from the Oxford
bindings of the time; but when the foreign printers, and they were,
as a rule, their own binders, so far out-numbered the English, it was
but natural that foreign styles should conquer. William Caxton, our
first printer, when he returned to England from Bruges in 1477 no
doubt brought his binding tools with him, and used them in the style
which he had learnt abroad. His bindings, always of leather, were
ruled with diagonal lines, and the diamond-shaped compartments
thus formed were ornamented with stamps of flowers and fabulous
animals. The border of the panel was generally formed of triangular
stamps of dragons. Caxton’s stamps passed after his death, in 1491,
into the hands of his successor—Wynkyn de Worde—who used
them until the beginning of the 16th century, when they seem to
have fallen into other hands.
The early Oxford press was carried on by Theodore Rood, of
Cologne, in partnership with Thomas Hunte, an English stationer,
and their bindings exhibit an interesting combination of the two
national styles. The stamps, evidently of foreign design, were, no
doubt, supplied by Rood; but their disposition upon the binding is

in the old English style. Oxford bindings of this period are very
easily distinguishable from others, nor are they at all uncommon, for
the demand for books in Oxford must have been very large. Lettou
and Machlinia, the first London printers, were also binders of books ;
but as only two bindings can be at present safely assigned to them,
there are but slight grounds for forming any opinion upon their style
of work.
It is impossible to determine at what date the panel stamp was
introduced into England, and there are few early examples that can
with any certainty be assigned to the 15th century. The earliest
example, perhaps, is to be found on a loose binding in the library of
Westminster Abbey. The sides are tooled at the edges with small
tools, and in the centre is a twice repeated stamp with the arms
presumably of Edward IV. This binding has, however, no
binder’s mark.
Frederic Egmondt and Nicholas Lecompte, stationers, who
came to England as early as 1493, used panels bearing their initials
and mark. Lecompte’s binding is evidently of foreign design, and
ornamented simply with an arabesque floral pattern. EEgmondt’s
have more variety. His most elaborate panel, which bears his name
in full at the base, represents a wild man and woman standing on
either side of a tree covered with some kind of fruit, and bearing in
one hand flowering boughs, while with the other they assist in
supporting a shield, bearing Egmondt’s mark and initials, suspended
by a belt from the branches above them. Besides this, he used a
small panel with a Tudor rose and vine leaves, surrounded by a
border of leaves and flowers, and bearing his mark and initials.
A very similar design was used by Richard Pynson, and is
found in conjunction with a panel bearing his arms and supporters
as well as his trade-mark. To Wynkyn de Worde no panel can
be safely assigned. His bindings were executed probably by
Netherlandish binders working in England who would use their
Xill.
own stamps. Among the witnesses to his will we find the name of
J. Gaver, who was probably one of the large family of Gavere, Case A. 31.
binders in the Low Countries. De Worde also mentions in his
will Alard, a bookbinder, and Nowel, the bookbinder in Shoe
Lane; but none of their bindings have been identified.
About the beginning of the 16th century, two panels came
very much into favour with the London binders; one containing the
arms of France and England quartered ona shield and supported
by the dragon and greyhound, supporters which were discarded in
1528; the other having in the centre the Tudor rose supported by
angels. Round the rose run two ribbons bearing the motto —
“‘ Haec rosa virtutis de celo missa sereno
Eternum florens regia sceptra feret.”
A fond belief, strongly encouraged by booksellers, has grown
up amongst collectors that such books once formed part of the
library of Henry VIII., a theory which only ignorance can
recommend. It would be as rational to imagine that all shops which
have over their door the Royal Arms were residences of the Queen.
Why such designs were so popular with binders is unknown ; but it
is not improbable that they represent some privilege or are the signs
of some guild. In the upper corners of these panels are the sun and
moon, and shields with the cross of St. George and the arms of
London, while in the base we find as a rule the initials and mark
of the binder. Amongst others who used these panels, we may
specially mention Julian Notary, the famous printer, who had two
varieties, and Henry Jacobi, an early London stationer, who had
enree:
Variations of the Royal Arms were used by H.N., who,
not being a citizen, omitted the arms of London from his panels,
and by G.G., who discarded the proper supporters of the Royal
Arms and put two angels in their place. E.G., A.H., R.O., R.L.,
G.R., M.D. and John Reynes, all used the Royal Arms in one form

or another, and besides these there are some large unsigned panels
bearing the arms of Henry VIII. quartered with those of Catherine
of Aragon or Anne Boleyn.
Pictorial panels do not seem to have been so popular in
England as they were abroad, and most of those we find in use were
probably of foreign manufacture. Two elaborate early examples
depicting St. Michael and St. George, with a binder’s mark of a
head upon a shield, and another of St. George, signed L.W.,
are most probably of English work, though it is impossible to
be certain, as the binders of Rouen and Caen produced work in
the same style. I.R., whose stamps fell at a later date into the
hands of John Reynes, had two designs—one of St. George slaying
the dragon and another of the baptism of Christ. The Annunciation
was a favourite subject and we find many varieties of it, the most
elaborate being one with the initials A.R. of very foreign appearance,
but with the shields of St. George and the City of London in the
borders. Nicholas Spering, the Cambridge binder, and A.H. had
similar panels. Henry Jacobi had a panel with ‘“ Our Lady of Pity.”
G.R., a panel with four saints similar to many French bindings of
the period. The best known of these bindings is one produced by
John Reynes, copied from a cut ina French Book of Hours, repre-
senting the emblems of the Passion, arranged heraldically upon a shield
with supporters, and inscribed below ‘‘ Redemptoris Mundi Arma.”
At a slightly later date a panel came into fashion, ornamented
with medallion heads, which was used by John Reynes, Godfrey,
M.D., T.P., G.P., and others. It has little beauty to recommend it,
being in a poor renaissance style, and is the last production of
English work of this class.
From the Cambridge stationers we have a most interesting
series of bindings. Nicholas Speryng, coming probably from
Antwerp, used two panels. On one is the Annunciation with his
mark and initials ; on the other, in allusion to his Christian name,
XV.
the favourite design of St. Nicholas restoring to life the three
pickled children, with the name in full, Nicholas Spiernick. Besides
these panels he had several rolls, Garrat Godfrey, his fellow
stationer, having others very similar, and on a book in the library of
Westminster Abbey we find the rolls of both, one being used to
obliterate the other. John Lair de Siberch, the first Cambridge
printer, used a broad rol] with his initials, which fell later on into the
hands probably of Speryng, who, erasing the I., substituted his
own initial N. It is worth noticing that the Cambridge binders
frequently made use of leather stained a dull red, a peculiarity
rarely found in other English bindings.
The introduction of the roll was rendered necessary by the
impossibility of decorating folio books with the panel stamp. At
first, the borders round large books were made from small dies placed
end to end, but this system was too laborious not to be soon super-
seded, and the roll took its place. With the invention of this
pernicious tool the rapid decline of stamped binding commenced.
At first, these rolls were of fine broad work and produced a
handsome effect. The various Royal emblems in compartments
often formed the subject, as in the beautiful roll used by Siberch ;
while a roll with flowers and fabulous animals was still more common,
a very fine example being used by John Reynes. At a later period,
these rolls became narrower and the ornament more formal, and are
hardly distinguishable from foreign work of the same _ period.
Singleton, the printer, used one of these rolls with his mark and
initials. On nearly all, small initials may be found, but it is not
improbable that at this late date they are those of the engraver
of the tool, rather than of the binder who used it. The last and
worst state of roll binding was reached about the beginning of the
17th century when the design, instead of being struck from a roll cut
as an intaglio, and appearing raised, was struck from a tool cut
d
‘“en camaieu”’ and appeared indented.

Abroad, during the latter part of the 16th century, stamped
binding survived only in Germany, but the bold character of the
early work was gone. In spite of the beauty of the design and the
excellence of the execution, the sides present a meagre and
unsatisfactory appearance, due partly to the great delicacy and
consequent want of depth in the tools, and partly to the use of
pigskin and parchment in place of leather. The centre panels of
these bindings, often designed by the greatest artists, contain as a
rule portraits of celebrated people, ancient and modern, depicted in
a very German manner. Lucretia, with puffed sleeves and a
feathered hat, stabs herself delicately between the ribbons which
tie her ornamental bodice ; Judith, fashionably attired in a similar
style, holds the fiercely mustachioed head of Holofernes. “Justice,”
not unlike Queen Elizabeth, with her hair in an embroidered net,
stands gazing open eyed and holding a pair of very unbalanced
scales. Other panels contain portraits of such modern celebrities as.
Martin Luther, Melancthon, or Calvin The borders contain coats of
arms and small medallion heads. However good the execution of
these bindings may be, they bear unmistakable signs of the
decadence of stamped work, which, so far as producing anything
artistic is concerned, now died out absolutely.

ie peo) N the following historical sketch of gold tooled Bindings,
an attempt is made, in accordance with the purpose of
this Exhibition, to give such an account as will enable the
student to trace the development of the art through successive
epochs and in different countries. For this reason it is that some
pains have been taken to describe the ornament characteristic of
the different styles and periods. The references for purposes of Introduction.
illustration are naturally to books in the present collection, but the
art is specially a French art, and the history of it cannot fail to
be in the main a history of French binding.
It has therefore seemed best to make its progress in that
country the groundwork of the present sketch, supplying collaterally
such details of its contemporaneous development in England and
elsewhere as may be necessary. Furthermore, as the Kings of
France, from the time of Louis XII. to that of Louis XV., were
patrons of binding, and the books from their royal libraries offer
the most valuable material for its study, it seems most convenient
to treat the subject according to their reigns, at all events during
the important period of the Renaissance.
We propose to consider the subject as it falls naturally into
three main periods : the first from 1494, when Aldus Manutius had
his printing press at Venice, to the end of the 16th century—the
period of Maioli and Grolier, of the royal bindings done for Francis I.
and Henri II. The art then attained its highest perfection, at all
Italian bindings

16th and 17th
centuries.

events from the point of view of design Secondly, the 17th century,
with which are associated the names of the Eves and Le Gascon;
and thirdly, the r8th century, the time of Boyet, Duseuil, Nicolas,
and Antoine Padeloup and the Deromes, in France, and of the
Harleian style and Roger Payne in England. Any division must
necessarily be somewhat arbitrary, but it happens that in this case
the centuries correspond pretty definitely to the different types of
the art at different periods of its development.
This is the most complete historical Exhibition of Binding
that has been made in our country, and no doubt it will
be used by many students for purposes of comparison from the
historical point of view. We have therefore added a chronological
appendix for their guidance, together with a list of the most useful
books of reference and the explanation of a few technical terms.
It is hoped that the contrast of ancient examples with recent
productions will do much for the advancement of taste in binding,
It was in Italy that, as far as Europe is concerned, artistic
tooled binding had its rise, and it was the introduction of Arabian
art by means of Venetian commerce that gave the initiative. The
ornamentation of early Italian binding is largely derived from
that of Persian and Arabian MSS. One style, particularly known
as “Venetian,” was obtained directly from the East, and is most
familiar to us now on the outside of Persian books. The board
was coated with a sort of paper composition, the centre and corners
then cut or stamped out in panels, and the whole, both of the
recessed tablets and the upper ground, covered with a thinly-
pared leather. This was next coated with a coloured lacquer, and
finally decorated and painted with arabesques in gold.
The painted mosaics so prevalent in France during the best
period came from Italy. Geometrical interlacings were filled in
with a sort of coloured and varnished incrustation, and then bordered
XiX.
in gold lines. Very brilliant when first finished, the composition in
time cracked and peeled off, thus injuring the gold line work that
encircled it. Mosaics of inlaid leather, extremely rare, though not
unknown in the 16th century, acquired a partial vogue in the 17th,
and in the 18th the incrustation method had entirely disappeared.
Cameo bindings also originated and were prevalent in Italy
during the early part of the 16th century. These had centre pieces
of designs in relief taken from antique gems and medals. I mitations
became popular in France for a short time.
It is not exactly known when gold tooling was first used
on bindings in Italy, though there were beautiful 13th century
specimens done in Syria. It was probably during the last quarter
of the 15th century, and the practice no doubt came from the
Saracens. The European foster-mother of the art was Venice, and
its adoption is probably to be assigned to Aldus at his own
press there, after 1494, although there are occasional earlier
instances. From this period at all events dates the decoration of
binding by means of small tools, curves and lines used in
combination, as distinguished from the stamped blind work
characteristic of the preceding period in England, and _ prevalent
much later in other countries, especially in Germany. Those
tools bear witness to the influence that Eastern — and
especially Arabian—art had over Venice. It is thought that
her commercial relations with the Levant attracted a _ large
number of Greek and Arab workmen, who brought with them
their art traditions, and some of whom were undoubtedly
employed by Aldus at his press. Others, again, consider that
much of the Eastern character in the Aldine bindings, such as
the corded and dotted borders, is due to Aldus and others copying
the bindings of the manuscripts introduced in such numbers into Italy
after the fall of Constantinople, when the revival of learning took

and were used at Venice from about 1470. The earliest books
that Aldus issued have a gold stamp; then followed blind or gold
parallel lines with corner ornaments, from 1500-1510, sober in
style, and among the best early bindings to be found; and _ lastly,
those elaborate geometrical patterns with which the name of Grolier is
associated. He met Grolier in 1512, and the Grolieresque bindings
begin about 1520. The leather he used was a smooth skin,
generally olive in colour. He was the first to disuse wooden boards.
The earliest Aldine tools were solid, similar, indeed, to those used
in the printing press, and Saracenic in character. Maioli had them
modified for his bindings by using them hollow, that is to say only
in outline, and Grolier, finding them heavy, had them further altered
to the same ornament barred, or azured as it is called, from the
colour blue in heraldry being represented in this manner. The
azured tools were first used by Grolier for the bindings done in
France, 1530-1540, and such few Italian examples as are seen were
probably imitated from French bindings. The bindings of Maioll,
are, roughly speaking, contemporary with those. of Grolier, no
known specimen being earlier than 1530. Nothing is known of
Maioli, except that he was an Italian bibliophile still living in 1549,
whose uncle, Michele Maioli, was a scientific writer and collector,
but no books bound for the latter are known. Tommaso had an
extensive library of well-bound and ornamented books, some of
which passed by exchange into the collection of Grolier.
As the designs on the books of both collectors are somewhat
similar in character, and as Grolier’s early books were of
Italian workmanship, it may be well here to point out some
differentiating features. Maioli designs are distinguished for
their flowing scroll-work, the graceful curves of which
interlace freely with the frame-work. The frame-work, which
is less the design than the scroll-work, is made up of curves
rather than of geometrical figures. The ornaments are Moresque
XX1.
in character, mostly in outline, though occasionally azured, and part
of the field is often enriched with dots. The designs have certainly
more artistic merit than Grolier’s on account of the perfection of
their scroll-work. On one side of the book is generally to be
found the motto, “Tuo. Matot1 er Amicorum,” and on the other,
‘“ TNIMICI MEI MEA MIHI NON ME MIHI,” or else, ‘‘ INGRATIS
SERVIRE NEPHAS.” On one book is found ‘“ Portio MEA DoMINE SIT
IN TERRA VIVENTIUM,” and on those not bound for him he had a
monogram composed of the letters A.E.H.I.L.M.O.P.S.T. which
form his name. On the books bound for Grolier the interlaced
frame-work is the design itself. Instead of flowing curved lines
we have a geometrical composition of interlaced straight lines and
semicircles. The ornaments are similar in character to those on
Maioli’s books, but azured and differently placed; they do not blend
with the scroll-work but are put in spaces without regard to the
perfection of curve seen in the best Maioli designs. Sometimes a
Mosaic effect is produced by an incrustation of different colours on
the band spaces between the lines. Of Grolier’s library we shall
speak in detail later on.
Some think the only difference in the books bound for the two
collectors lies in the fact that Maioli always preserved his florid
Italian style, while Grolier’s taste became more severe in France,
and that he then abandoned his earlier style.
To the patronage of the Medici family is largely due the
success of binding in Italy. Piero de Medici collected MSS. dis-
tinguished for their miniatures and decoration, and had them marked
with the fleur de lys ; Lorenzo had his books stamped with his arms,
a laurel branch and the motto “Semper.” The collections of
Cardinals Lancelot and Bonelli were hardly less celebrated, and
Canevari, physician to Urban the VIII. in 1590, had his books
stamped with a design that has rendered them famous. The names

of Popes and Cardinals are to be found as collectors of fine books,
bindings from whose libraries are of rare value.
Italy had no permanent school of binding, and though the
artistic inspiration came from her, it was in France that it took root
asa fine art. Practically, in fact, the originality of Italian binding
ceased to exist after the first half of the 16th century. Itisto France
that we must now pass to watch the rapid progress of the art towards
perfection. The 50 years of the reigns of Francis I. and Henri II.
are the richest of all in designs for fine bindings, and contain, besides
the French work done for those two monarchs, the bindings done
elsewhere for Maioli, Grolier, Canevari and Marc Lauwrin, though
which Lauwrin it was for whom bindings were done is not known.
Royal bindings of the 15th century in France are not numerous.
Of extreme rarity are the bindings of Charles VIII., and not much
more numerous those of Louis XII. Louis was the first who had
his motto and device stamped on his books. Before his marriage
with Anne of Brittany, we find a semis of bees, and the motto ‘“‘Non
UTITUR ACULEO REGINA CUI PAREMUS.” After his marriage we have
sometimes only the monogram L.A., with or without a crown, or
the arms of France alternating with the ermine of Brittany, and the
hedgehog that was also his emblem, with the motto ‘“ Cominus ET
EMINUS.” Louis was a great collector of books; after the conquest
of Milan he annexed part of the libraries of the Visconti and the
Sforza, and he also bought the collection of the Flemish amateur,
Louis de la Gruthuyse. All these books he sent to his library at
Blois, whence they were subsequently removed by Francis I. to
Fontainebleau.
Grolier’s library, in respect of size and selection, was so much
the finest of the time, and his name is so inseparably connected with
the finest period of binding, that a brief account of it is necessary.
Born at Lyons, in 1479, of a family that came from Verona, he
replaced his father, in 1510, as Treasurer of the Duchy of Milan

under Louis XII., when he made the acquaintance of the elder
Aldus in 1512, whose press he patronised during the remainder of
his life, and again in 1529 he was sent by Francis I. as Ambassador
to Pope Clement VII. Many books from the Aldine Press were
dedicated to him in terms that show he aided Aldus and his family
with money, and copies de luxe of all books issued by them were
reserved for his library. In 1545 he became Treasurer of France,
and in 1547 Finance Minister, both of which functions he kept
till his death. He helped to establish the Collége de France,
under Francis [., superintended many architectural works like
that of the Palace of Chantilly, and invented a new coinage
Pacers tienty Il> (°His library at the Hotel de Lyon, near to
the Buci Gate, was composed of 8,000 volumes of classical and
Italian authors—with but one known MS. and hardly any French
printed books—of which only 350 have been traced. These
were, no doubt, mostly collected in Italy. After his death his
books were divided among his inheritors, and subsequently found
their way into the chief private collections of France. Most of
them became the property of Méry de Vic, and lay forgotten for
more than a century in the Hotel de Vic, which Grolier had bought
from the inheritors of Budé and left to his own, until the sale of
the Hotel took place in 1676. At this sale, Esprit Fléchier, bishop
of Nismes, acquired 10 volumes, and it was probably in 1725, at the
Fléchier sale of books in England, that the first Groliers made their
appearance in this country. Their prices were very low until the
beginning of this century, but have been steadily rising, especially
since 1830. The sales of the Libri library did more than
anything to increase their value. The British Museum possesses
about 30 Groliers, the Duke of Marlborough 9, Lord Gosford 6,
Lord Spencer 4, Mr. Holford 5, and no doubt there are
many others to be found in this country in less known
private libraries. 64 volumes are in the Bibliotheque Nationale,
XXIV.
15 in that of St. Geneviéve, and 7 in the Bibliothéque de
l’ Arsenal.
There arises the question, did Grolier have his books
bound in Italy or France? M. Leroux de Lincy, to whose
researches we owe most information about Grolier, thinks
that they were chiefly, though perhaps not exclusively, bound
in France, while Fournier thinks the reverse. It is a point that
will probably never be decided, but the early ones were most
likely bound in Italy during his sojourn there. In 1496, after the
great expedition to Naples, skilful Italian workmen came over to the
court of Charles VIII., and Grolier may likewise have brought
Italian workmen with him on his return from Italy, so that even if
fine bindings were not known to have existed in France long before
the 16th century they could well have been carried out there
during his lifetime. It is probable, however, that Grolier followed
rather than set a taste in binding, but at the same time he no doubt
formed a school and created a native art out of foreign material,
and if the inspiration came from Italy the development was thence-
forth entirely French. The style associated with his name was in
fashion throughout all the 16th century.
His bindings may be divided into two classes—those done for
others, but admitted into his collection, he contenting himself with
adding name and motto; and those which were specially done for
him. The last may be again divided into those bound for him in
Venice and distinctly Italian in character, and those probably bound
in France between 1540 and 1556. ‘Those specially bound for him
are in morocco or brown calf, and the back, without ornament, has
5 or 7 bands; at the beginning and end of the volume, there are 4, 5,
or 6 leaves of guard, the third being of vellum. - The ornamentation

other small tools on the side. The motto “Io Gro.tert ET

generally found at the bottom of the front board, but sometimes
in the centre immediately under the title, though when the
binding is of the first class, it is occasionally written in his own
hand on the fly leaf. On the other board is nearly always
found ‘PortTio MEA, DoMINE, SIT IN TERRA VIVENTIUM.” He had
other mottos besides the three above named most often used.
““TAMQUAM VENTUS EST VITA MEA,” is found only on a copy of
the Cortegiano of 1528, instead of “ GROLIERII ET AMICORUM,” and
on a copy of the Poliphilo of 1499. On others, ‘““Custoprr Dominus

DIFFICULTEk, together with an emblem of a hand coming out
of a cloud and trying to pull up an iron nail attached to the
top of a hillock, is found on the volumes of 1501, 1508, 1513
and 1515, the early years of his collection, referring probably
to some event in his life. The habit of having several copies
of a work was no doubt for the use of his friends, for to
Marcus Laurinus, Maioli, and the president Chris. de Thou,
he made presents of books as may be seen from the inscriptions
in them, and Geoffroy Tory, Pithou, and Claude du Puy also
had similar gifts from him. Whether Grolier drew out his own
designs, or who made them, is not known. Geoffroy Tory,
engraver and royal printer to Francis I., in his Champfleury, a
work on the proportion of ancient letters, speaks of some which
Grolier employed him to design in a way that leads one to think
they may have been those that Grolier used on his bindings,

and there is a great similarity between some of the Grolier
designs and the borders that surround the pages of the Champ-
fleury. To Estienne de Laulne, the great engraver and goldsmith,
who worked with him on the new coinage for Henry IL. he also
undoubtedly owed much.
Grolier is credited with having been the first to use morocco as
it is now dressed, and he certainly was among the first to use lettering
pieces on the backs of books, a fashion which took a long time to
get established. He is known to have taken much trouble in
getting the finest moroccos from the Levant, which reached him
through Jehan Colombel, a merchant at Avignon.
It must be remembered that though we credit the binder with
the artistic decoration of books, it is in a sense inaccurate to do so
when dealing with this period. During the whole of the time of
which we are treating, the printer was the binder; he bound the
whole edition of his work, which he was then prepared to sell to the
public, if registered as a bookseller. In the 16th century, binding
was done in the workshops of the printer-booksellers ; in the 17th
it was still under their direction, but done outside of it by master
binders. The commercial binding of the earlier periods was so
decorative that it is impossible to neglect it, though it differs from
hand work, in being stamped by mechanical pressure. By
commercial bindings, we mean those issued by the printer-binders
and decorated by stamps on which the ornament was cut entire.
Almost all was probably commercial work till the time of Grolier.
Its early history belongs, of course, to the history of blind stamped
work, but it soon became connected with gold ornament. Some of
the stamps on the books issued by these printer-booksellers are of
considerable interest. The Aldine anchor is well known, as is
also the mark of the Elzevier Press. The brothers Angelier,
printers at Paris in the middle of the 16th century, had a far more
ornamental sign of their Press. It was a framework of blind lines
XXVII.
on the sides, with solid gold corner ornaments, and in the centre
the device of two little angels kneeling before an infant Christ, who
in his right hand holds the cord that connects des anges (és, and in
his left the globe. Geoffroy Tory’s bindings that were done for him
on his return from Italy—1516-1518—have his stamp of the broken
pitcher, which he took when he became bookseller. To this he
added later the wimble or auger. The pitcher is found on two sizes
of books, but the larger of the two only has the auger. Commercial
binding about 1535 began to reproduce the arabesque ornament and
interlacings of the Renaissance ; many such stamped covers are not
easy to distinguish from hand work, being exact imitations of the
best work of the master gilders, the dots and smaller gold ornaments
being added by hand after the main impression had been given.
Marius Michel thinks that as many as 80 per cent. of the French
and Italian bindings of small size, dating from the 16th century, were
ornamented by means of stamps. During the first half of the
century commercial work was merely a_ reproduction of hand-
work. The Lyonnese binders, whose reputation dates from the
early 16th century, used very fine stamps. They were mostly
the azured corners and centre pieces which originated in
Venice, but were largely used in France. The rarest of these
Lyons stamps are those in imitation of certain title pages of
the time, having caryatides supporting a framework with allegorical
figures. It was during the last half of the 16th century that this
commercial work had a really independent artistic existence, and,
consequently, was at its best. A third phase of the stamped work is
seen when the foliated centre pieces, originally worked leaf by leaf,
were engraved as a whole for commercial bindings—laurel being
first used, the oak and palm leaves alternating with laurel not coming
in till the end of the 16th century. Corners were made to match
the centres, in which branches appeared from a small cartouche,
or the little cherub head so often used by Renaissance sculptors.

It is interesting to see how commercial work followed in
the footsteps of artistic binding throughout successive epochs,
reproducing the best designs; and later on, when the art became
decadent, also the worst. We need not follow it further, now that
the fact of its existence has been emphasised, merely drawing
attention to the circumstance that it probably had _ indirect
advantages—first, in the discontinuance of wooden boards, which
could not support the pressure necessary to the stamp; and next,
in the general refinement of the work, cord being substituted for
the strips of leather on which books had hitherto been sewn.
During the Renaissance the artists who designed for the
printer, the jeweller, the potter and the craftsman in all the
minor arts, designed also the book-covers of the great collectors,
and such designs were carried out not by the printer-binders,
but by the professional doveurs sur cuir. It was their business
to gild and tool all leather work, from the coffers and cases
for jewels, then an important business, down to the boots worn
by the gallants, which were decorated with fine arabesques in gold.
Throughout this time then the name of the binder does not
give us the name of the gilder, though such work was probably
carried out under the binder’s direction. On the jewel boxes
above-mentioned is often to be found work of the same character as
on contemporary bindings such as the interlacings of the reign of
Henri II., the small pointed tooling of Le Gascon, and the lace work
of Derome. The important gilders in the reign of Henri II. were
Jehan Foucault and Jehan Louvet. In the 17th century, when
the edict of Louis XIII., in 1618, was passed, making booksellers
and binders reside in the University of St. Yves or in the Palace,
and forbidding them to employ anyone not belonging to their craft,
one Pigorreau, a boot gilder of great reputation, endeavoured to
get himself received as bookbinder, for fear of losing his employment
on the covers of books. After much opposition on the part of the
XXIX.
craft, he succeeded, and we read in a contemporary document,
“henceforth many gilders, though opposed by the binders, either by
payment of money or on the pretext of an apprenticeship to binders,
contrived to become members of the Bookbinders’ Company. But
as these letters of freedom have always borne the threefold
description of bookseller, printer and binder, several lawsuits have
arisen between the Company and gilders who wished to be received
into it.” It was not till 1686 that a statute was passed making the
craft of relzeur-doreur separate from that of “ébratre tmprimeur.
It is impossible to discover the name of the great designer
whose work may be traced on the chief bindings of Francis I. and
Henri II., or of the great gilder who carried out his designs; and
this obscurity continues throughout the history of binding.
Many of the books bound for Francis I. were Italian in their Francis I.,
ornamentation, in the style known as Grolier, except that the arms of eee
France generally take the place of the title of the work or motto
of the treasurer, which on Grolier’s books are usually found in the
centre of the sides. The emblem of Francis I. was a salamander
amid flames, and the motto “ NuTRIScO ET EXSTINGUO,” also the Case I. r.
letter F. with the fleur de lys. The emblem and motto were given
him in his childhood by his tutor Boisy, and he used them in his
seal throughout his, reign. His books were mostly bound in black
leather, excepting the Greek MSS.,. which were in coloured
moroccos with smooth backs. Few books from his library are to
be met with. Some that have dolphins show that the book was
bound in the reign of Francis I. but for the Dauphin. Only
two binders, Philippe Le Noir and Estienne Roffet—called Le
Faulcheur, were at this time entitled to take the title of releurs
ordinatres du rot, and both were printers and booksellers.

and, the arts being neglected, there were no distinguished collectors,
the king alone having a library of any importance, Nevertheless,
the best of the books bound for him and his mistress, Diane
de Poitiers, are the best known of any period, bold and fine in
design and unfettered by any tradition. Their main characteristic
is at once the reason of their excellence and the explanation of
the subsequent decline of the ornamentation applied to book
decoration. With the exception of the emblems, no engraved tools
were used; the designs were entirely composed with lines and
segments of circles, which in combination enabled the great
designer whose handiwork can be traced on the best bindings of
of those reigns, to execute in a triumph of arabesque both flowing
tracery and an infinite variety of conventional foliage. With the
gradual use of engraved stamps both freedom and appropriateness
of design as gradually disappeared. The Bibliothéque Nationale
possesses some 800 volumes which must have constituted nearly
the whole of the library of Henry II.. Most of the books
have his emblems beside the arms of France; either his
monogram, with that of his Queen, Catherine of Medicis, the
two C’s of the Queen being interlaced with the H of the
King; or his monogram with that of Diane de Poitiers and the
deer, hound, and other emblems of the chase suggested by her name.
The ground plan of the designs continues to be interlacings, but while
in those that Grolier borrowed from Italy there is a predominance of
straight lines, those done for Henry II. are composed almost
entirely of curves. There are two styles in the designs: those
having only interlacings and curves and those with interlacings
and azured tools employed in the central ornament. The backs
are without any bands instead of having five or seven as
heretofore, and for the first time the decoration of the back is
brought into harmony with that of the sides. He also had some
imitation cameo bindings done for him,
XXX.
Both Catherine de Medicis and Diane de Poitiers had important
libraries of their own, and it is a fact that has often misled
purchasers of these books that to the library of each belonged
volumes having the monogram of the other. Catherine brought
with her from Italy the art traditions of her family. Her dowry to
Henry II. comprised some MSS. from the library of Lorenzo de
Medicis, and when the Maréchal Pietro Strozzi died, she annexed
his library, pretending to buy it, but subsequently forgot to
pay for it. More than 4,000 volumes constituted her private library
at Chenonceaux, which was enriched by costly presents offered in
exchange for her patronage of letters. Comparatively few that
exist bear her mark, as on her death, to prevent the seizure of
her library by her creditors, De Thou had them all rebound with the
royal arms as a sign that they belonged henceforth to the Crown.
After she became a widow, in 1559, she took as her emblem a heap
of ashes watered by tears and encircled by a scroll containing the
motto, ‘‘ ARDOREM EXTINCTA TESTANTUR VIVERE FLAMMA,” and this
device is to be found on her later bindings. All phases of design
may be traced upon her books, from the Grolieresque style on the
earliest of them, with straight interlacings and solid Aldine tools,
through the grand period when the unknown artist who worked
for Henry II. evidently worked also for her, but the majority of
her books are of Eve pattern. |
The library of Diane de Poitiers at her Chateau d’Anet was
hardly less celebrated. She appears always to have had a taste
for books, for in 1531, as the widow of Louis de Brezé, she adopted
on her bindings an arrow, encircled by laurels rising from a tomb,
and the motto, ‘‘ SOLA VIVIT IN ILLO.” Later, as the mistress of
Henry II., she suppressed the tomb and modified the motto to
«SOLA VIVIT IN ILLA.” Her library of splendid MSS. on vellum,
and of specimens of printing, was superbly bound, and frequently
enriched by presents from the king. Most of them have her arms

as Duchesse de Valentinois, and the motto above named, with
her emblems of the chase, and occasionally the significant
‘“CONSEQUITUR QUODCUMQUE PETIT.” During the seven years that
she survived the king she constantly added to her library, which
remained at Anet entirely neglected till 1723, when it was put
up to auction on the death of the Princesse de Condé, to whom it
belonged. |
Marguerite d’Angouléme, sister of Francis I., and Queen of
Navarre, had some fine bindings, the general plan of which is a
series of lozenge shaped compartments made of reversed curves.
They are separated by Marguerites, and have the crowned
monogram of the Duchesse d’Alencgon, or Queen of Navarre.
There were other noted collectors of this period whose bindings
are much sought after. Marc Lauwrin, of Watervliet, near Bruges,
whose books bear the motto, “ Laurin ET AmICORUM,”’ and some-
times “VirTUS IN aRDUO.” Demetrio Canevari, physician to
Urban VIII., the books from whose library are easily recognised
by their fine central oval stamp of Apollo driving his chariot
over the waves—Apollo being in gold, the sea in green and silver,
and the chariot coloured. The motto, OPOQO> KAI MH AOZIOS
runs round the stamp, which is often enclosed in a fine border. They
were probably inherited by Demetrio, as they were mostly bound
in Venice between 1540 and 1560, while he was not born until
1559. This library was in existence in the Vico Lucoli in Genoa up
to 1823. Peter Ernest Count de Mansfelt, the celebrated General
of Charles V., had a fine library. His son Charles had also
decorative bindings. The books of Charles were bound in the style
attributed to Nicolas Eve, and had his arms and monogram of two
C’s interlaced, also two deltas AA interlaced, which together make
the reversed triangles, so well known on his books. The constable
Anne de Montmorency had on some books, his sword entwined with
a sash, and the motto, AIIAANO®; on others a golden eagle and
XXXill.
‘DIEU AIDE AU PREMIER BARON CHRETIEN.” Philippe Desportes,
who died in 1546, had the double ¢¢ on the backs of his books.
With the death of Henry II. the great traditions of binding are
suddenly interrupted. Four different gilders have been traced at
work on the chief books of Francis I. and Henry II., and their work
is seen no more. Possibly they may have been obliged to leave the
country in consequence of the Huguenot persecutions between 1562
and 1570.
Of Francis II. not many bindings are known. Of these the
chief decoration is either a dolphin in gold with plain lines on
the side, or, after his ascent to the throne, the arms of France
with his monogram. The work of the great gilder to Henry II.
may be traced on the best of his books with a monogram uniting his
initials with that of Mary Stuart.
Of Charles IX. rather more bindings are extant. Some
of those bound for Francis II. have the additional initials
of Charles IX., suggesting that they were perhaps finished
in his reign. They are mostly distinguished by two C’s reversed
and interwoven sometimes with K, supposed to be K for Carolus
or Karolus, and C for his mother, Catherine de Medici. The letters
are crowned, and occasionally constitute a semis. The arms of
France are in the centre, with or without two pillars united by
a floating scroll, and the motto “ PreraTE ET JUSTITIA.’
There now arises a new style of geometrical interlacing
quite different from that hitherto prevalent, having large inter-
mediate spaces left unfilled with decoration, which was particularly
adopted by Henry III. This was a period of emblems, which
were never more misused than by that monarch. He instituted
the Order of the Saint Esprit, the symbol of which often appears
on his books, and his fanaticism shows itself in the religious
legends and devices, such as the Crucifixion and the Passion, which
are generally to be found on works bound for him, without distinction

as to whether they are religious or profane. These occupy
the centre of that geometrical division into wide compartments
above mentioned. The backs are nearly always plain, with a
compartment at the top containing the title, and in another
at the bottom, ‘“Spes mEA Deus,” or “MEMENTO mori.” The
intermediate space has in an oval the royal arms and two or
more quatrefoils, usually containing a Death's Head—the emblem
of the Order of Penitents, to which the King belonged. The
sides, besides the devotional stamps before-mentioned, have
frequently semis of tears, fleurs de lys, or the monogram of the
king interlaced with two lambdas )d_ representing Louise
de Lorraine, his wife. Henry III. extended his sumptuary laws
beyond the dress of the bourgeois and nobility to the decoration of
their books. The titles were permitted to be in gold, the edges to
be gilt, and lines and arabesques to be traced in gold, but all
massive gold stamps were forbidden—a decree that in nowise injured
the progress of the art. The austere character of the bindings
done for the King’s own use, did not, however, suit the taste of his
sister, Marguerite de Valois, and a new mode of decoration arose,
with which is particularly associated the names of the Eves, for it
constitutes their second style, and which, for want of a better word,
may be called the foliated style.
To Henry IV.’s reign belongs especially the fashion of semis
of monograms, flowers, and small tools. Always in existence from
the earliest times, they were most popular of all in the 17th century.
Another mode of decoration that also prevailed, and which marks
the commencement of the foliated period, were centres composed of
branches intertwined, which took the place of the heavier azured
centres that had hitherto prevailed in most of the simpler bindings.
Very few bindings are known as belonging to Henry IV., and those
that exist are wanting in originality; they are marked with the H.
crowned, and the shields of France and Navarre, the whole being

surrounded by the collars of the Orders of St. Michel and the
St. Esprit.
In other parts of Europe binding was far behind France
during the 16th century. Germany continued and perfected the
use of blind stamped leather all through the period that Italy was
developing gold tooling. In England, too, that mode of decoration
continued, though not so late as in Germany, well on into the
16th century.
It was not till the reign of Edward VI. that gold tooling became
usual in England, most of the bindings in Henry VIII.’s reign
being still blind tooled, though with occasional exceptions. The
borders of this early gold work were mostly made up from tools
repeatedly joined together, of which the design was the Venetian-
Arabesque. Books bound for Edward VI. before he was king have
the feathers, motto and initials E.P.; afterwards they have his arms
and initials E.R., and sometimes a verse from Scripture. In his reign
the influence of the Renaissance is soon seen in the ornamentation
and in the introduction of geometrical interlaced patterns. English
binders throughout the 16th century reproduced only foreign
styles on their leather work, the designs of which were often
very good, but the execution far behind the French or Italian
prototypes. They were very fond of the circle as ornament,
especially flamed, and its use may be noticed as a differentiating
characteristic in the foreign geometrical types that they adopted.
Enamelled or painted mosaics are to be found similar to the
Italian originals, also the azured corners and centre pieces which,
originating in Venice, became firmly established at Lyons, and
were introduced here, it has been said, by Archbishop Parker.
It may be remarked that though we speak of English
bindings of this time, it is a disputed point whether much of the
work was not done by foreign workmen. The evidence, however,

is in favour of it being English, for, though the designs are good
enough for French work, the execution and the drawing are
inferior.
Many of the bindings belonging to Queen Elizabeth were very
fine. Some have the device of a crowned falcon holding a sceptre
which was originally Anne Boleyn’s, but continued by her daughter.
Queen Mary had her arms in a flamed circle. The tooling on her
books is solid in character, and they were possibly bound by Berthelet,
binder to Henry VIII. Brown calf was used almost entirely,
morocco not occurring in even the Royal libraries till the reign
of James I. The chief private collections of this century were
those of:—Thomas Wotton, 1521-1587, called the English
Grolier, from his adopting the style and motto of the French
collector; Archbishop Cranmer; Lord Treasurer Burghley;
Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester, whose books, generally marked
with his crest, the bear and ragged staff, and his initials, R.D.,
are very fine and much decorated; Archbishop Parker; Henry
Fitz Alan Earl of Arundel, whose emblem was the white horse;
and Lord Lumley, his son-in-law, who died in 1609. Many of
the bindings done for Wotton are very fine, not inferior to the
best Groliers, and some of them have his arms.
The Eve style is first associated with the library of
Marguerite de Valois, the third daughter of Henry II. and Catherine
de Medicis, who inherited a love of books and spent much time and
money on her library. The small floral compartments centred with
Marguerites that diaper her volumes, mostly bound in olive,
red and citron morocco, are known to all. Those having in the
centre of one side a shield with 3 fleurs de lys on a fesse—and on
the other side the motto, ‘“ ExpECTATA NON ELUDET,” or “ SPES MEA
Deus,” are often ascribed to her library, but in the opinion of
M. Guigard were most probably bound for Marie-Marguerite de
Valois de Saint-Remy, daughter of a natural son of Henry III.
XXXVil.
Some bindings of the Eve character were done for Henry IV.
before he came to the throne, and they all have the border
of blended palm and laurel foliage in the Eve style. Marius
Michel says his aunt, Antoinette de Vendéme, had many books
bound in the same manner. Her initials A. and V. were entwined
in the centre of the panel, or two C.’s, the initial of her husband,
Claude de Lorraine, and in the foliaged ovals the two dd of Lorraine
alternate with a flower.
There is one sign often to be found on the bindings, ascribed to
Marguerite de Valois, and on other books of the 16th and early 17th
century, namely the S. barré. Many explanatory theories have been
brought forward about it, and at one time it was considered to be the
monogram of Gabrielle D’Estrées, but subsequently being found on
books preceding her time, it has been considered to signify fermesse
(z.2., & vous toujours fermement). It was most probably a religious
symbol.
The Eves were a family of binders of whom the first, Nicolas,
worked for Henry III. in 1579. But it was his son Clovis who, as
binder to Henry IV. and Louis XIII., gave the distinctive character
to the style. The geometrical lay-out of the designs remains, but it
has not the unity that has hitherto characterised similar work, for the
parts are separable from each other. The originality consists in
surrounding the compartments with scrolls or spirals and branches
of laurel and palm. There are three distinct styles in the Eve
work; in the earliest the compartments are not filled in at all, in
the next they have the small azured tools of the Lyons school; the
interlacings are much richer, the branches more important, and the
spirals broken up with small azured tailpieces; in the latest the
spirals are smaller and more numerous, palms alternate with laurel
and oak in the branches, and the compartments are filled with
the 17th century tools to be described later. The name of
Fanfare was given to this style of work in the last century,
Antoinette de
Vendéme.

when Charles Nodier had a volume entitled ‘Les Fanfares
et Courvées abbadesques,” bound for him in this manner by
Thouvenin, and ever since the small tools employed in it have
gone by the name of Fanfares. There were no inside borders
at this time.
Jacques Auguste de Thou was the most celebrated patron
of binding during the last part of the 16th century. Son of
Christophe de Thou, first President of the Parliament of
Paris, he inherited from him a valuable library, containing
several books bound for Grolier, which the latter had presented
to Christophe, in gratitude for having saved his life
and honour. Jacques Auguste was also President of the
Parliament under Henry IV., a position his son held after
him. He had a library of 8,000 volumes bound in a variety
of styles. It included Fanfare bindings of the late period, in
which the spirals were profuse and the foliage elaborate and
delicate; the dotted work of Le Gascon in his early days;
fawn coloured calf, ornamented with plain gold lines; white vellum
stamped with arms; and, most numerous of all, books covered
in moroccos, red, olive and citron, perfectly plain except for his fine
coats of arms. These arms vary greatly at different periods of his
life, in the following succession. Before he was married they were
simply argent with a chevron sable between 3 gadflies of the same,
with a cherub’s head as his crest above the escutcheon and his name
below, the whole enclosed between two branches of laurel. Later,
he added his monogram, I.A.D.T., and this and the arms are
on his books up to 1587, when he married Marie Barbancon.
After this he impaled his wifes arms, gules with 3 lions
crowned argent, with his own, and modified his monogram
to I.A.M. Marie died in 1601, and the following year
De Thou married Gasparde de la Chastre. Henceforth her
arms replace Marie’s, and the monogram becomes IA.G. He left
XXXIX,
this library in perpetuity to his family, and the eldest son, Francois
Auguste, librarian to the king, guarded it jealously till he was
beheaded in 1642 at Lyons with Cing Mars. The third son of the
historian was then put in the place of Francois, became the head of
the family and the owner of the library, which he enriched with the
collection of his father-in-law, Huges Picardet. His books are known
by the combined arms of De Thou and Picardet until 1660, when
he was made Baron de Meslay. His arms are henceforth surmounted
by a count’s coronet instead of a baron’s, and the motto “Mane
NoBIs cum Domine.” ‘Three years after his death, in 1677, the
Abbé de Samer-aux-Bois sold the collection to meet the creditors
of the family. Charron de Ménars bought it almost intact,
except some of the MSS., which went to the Royal library.
In 1706, the Marquis de Ménars resold the library to the Bishop
of Strasburg for 440,000, who bequeathed it to his nephew the
Prince de Soubise, and it was only finally dispersed in 1788.
By far the greater part of De Thou’s library was plainly bound
in rich red morocco with his arms—a style that was subsequently
much copied by collectors in all countries.
We have now come to the end of the 16th century, for though
the Eves and their new style belong to the extreme end of it, their
most characteristic work belongs to the 17th. It remains only to
say a few words about binding itself at the period we have réached
as apart from decoration. Early 16th century binding is mainly
remarkable for its solidity; with Henry II. the work became
much finer. Bands on the back were at first very numerous and
heavy ; later on they were discarded, and the ornament of the
back was then brought into relation with that on the sides, as may
be seen in the best work of Francis I. and Henry II., though
this was hardly practised regularly till 1560 It is the custom
to consider that the practice of sawing across the backs of
books, to embed the cord on which the leaves are sewn, did not

originate until the 18th century, but it is evident from the plain
backs of this time that something of the sort took place as far back
as the middle of the 16th century. It was not till the end of the
16th century that the leather began to be pared before covering—
an important step in the direction of neatness and delicacy of work.
Throughout the century the guards and lining papers were white,
and sometimes of vellum; the edges of the books were profusely
ornamented with designs similar in character to the sides, and
carried out by means of matting tools, while a further luxury was
the marker of silk or ribbon, often ornamented with precious
stones,
The books of Louis XIIJ. were principally decorated with a
semis, and do not differ much from those of Henry IV. His
device was the single L. crowned, often used in the semis with
the fleur de lys, and these were occasionally used in conjunction
with the monogram of Queen Anne of Austria, two A.’s reversed
also crowned. The sides were sometimes bordered with the
branch work used so much in the preceding reign. His binders
were Clovis Eve, and after him Macé Ruette, who worked
between 1606-1638, and is supposed to have introduced into France
marbled paper and a yellow morocco also marbled.
His son, Anthoine Ruette succeeded his father between 1640
and 1650 as Crown binder, and did some fine work for Anne of
Austria, during her Regency, and for the Chancellor Séguier.
The motto of Séguier was ‘“ Arte ET Marte,” and he had the
ornament of the golden fleece on his arms. To the same period
belong also, as collectors, Mornay, Philippede, Dupuy, La Vrilliére
and Richelieu. Mornay’s books have, besides his arms, his
monogram of ¢ between two C.’s facing each other, which was the
initial of his wife Charlotte d’Arbaleste.
The brothers Pierre and Jacques du Puy had, besides the
arms, the double delta arranged as a star. The Maréchal Balthazar
xi.
de Villars has a shield with his crest and the motto “ Fortis
FORTUNA FORTIOR, and beneath, the letters B.D.V.
Richelieu had his arms with the episcopal insignia and the
motto “ His FULTA MANEBUNT.”
It is impossible to describe here the marks of ownership on the
books of all the collectors, who henceforth became more and more
numerous. They are mostly coats of arms and crests, a knowledge
of which is in itself an elaborate and difficult study. Those whose
ambition it is to be able at once to assign the ownership to such
books must take as their guide, in default of a better, M. Guigard’s
‘‘ Armorial du Bibliophile.”
Towards the end of the last century, there had been a growing
tendency to use engraved tools, which increased in the present
time, and was, as before remarked, a sign of the decadence rather
than of the growth of the art. Such were the little vases of
the time of Henry IV., which were used throughout the 17th
century, and by the imitators of Le Gascon. Such also
were the delicate tools copied from the designs on embroidery
and lace of frequent use throughout the time of Louis XIII.,
and which were placed at the angles of the design, and also,
so to speak, cornered the centre compositions. Rolls, too, began
to be used at the extreme end of the 16th century, and gradually
developed in size and elaboration, obviously thereby helping
towards the mechanical reproduction of ornament.
About 1625 there appeared a new development of the
Eve style, always associated with the name of Le Gascon,
though no documents have ever confirmed the existence of a
person of that name. Supposed to have been in the workshop
of the Eves, he took the Fanfare style, with its complicated
geometrical framework, as the basis of his designs, but worked out
all the scrolls in fine dots instead of solid line. His work is the
extreme of reaction from the plain Aldine tools of the early Groliers.

Tools had begun to get finer with the Eves, but with Le Gascon
they reached the height of delicacy and perfection. In his later
styles he abandoned any solid framework at all, and made up his
designs of the pointillé ornament alone, which, ceasing to be an
accessory, forms a tracery of the minutest arabesque. This style
retained its chief place until 1660, when it gave way to a reaction in
favour of more solid work. Pointillé or Le Gascon work may
be traced distinctly in three styles; in the earliest he combined
on a simple geometrical basis of solid line and curve the
finely cut centre pieces and corner tools, which, imitated from
lace, are distinctive of the 17th century; then come the designs
with the same curve and line ground plan, but with the corners
pointillé, and a mass of the same tooling round the centre panel
of line; and finally, those in which the whole background of the
design is worked in pointillé, leaving the geometrical interlacings
alone plain. Most of his work was done on a red morocco, of a
particular tone, and the brilliancy of the contrast between these plain
bands and the mass of sparkling arabesque, has never been equalled.
Throughout the reign of Louis XIV. binding continued to
increase in quantity. The king’s binders were Antoine Ruette,
Florimond Badier, whose splendid signed example of the
Imitation in the Bibliothéque Nationale shows that he
possibly did many of the pointillé bindings ascribed
universally to Le Gascon, On the signed binding of
Badier, above-mentioned, there is to be seen the little head,
executed in small dots, that is supposed to be the mark
of Le Gascon, which leads Mons. Gruel to think that they
were possibly the same person. To Badier is assigned the
first important use of doublures, or the lining of the inside
of the boards with leather, for the purpose of their decoration.
The first known doublure is on an Italian binding of 1550
in the Bibliothéque Nationale; but until the time of Louis XIV.
xliil.
the examples are very rare, so that the usage was first established
then, as was also that of marbled paper, instead of the vellum or
plain white hitherto employed.
Le Gascon had many imitators, the best of whom was
probably Magnus of Amsterdam, who bound for the Elzevirs and
for Louis XIV., but the increasing use of elaborately engraved
rolls and of complete stamps for the interlacings was fatal to the
artistic character of their work.
To the end of the century belong as collectors the Marquis
de Louvois, Francois-Michel Le Tellier, whose books are easily
recognised by the three lizards in his coat of arms, and Nicolas
Fouquet, who often had a squirrel besides his initials F.N. The
College of Jesuits had the books which they purchased with
the money given to them by him for the extension of their library
bound with the two ¢q¢ interlaced, and this interlacement
distinguishes them from the books that belonged to Desportes.
The last part of the reign of Louis XIV. witnessed the
steady decline of the art as a fine art. To that period belong
the dentelle borders, made up of the 17th century tools inspired
from the motives of lace-work often very delicate and of
beautiful execution but without any qualities of design. These
are not seldom to be found inside the Jansenist bindings of
the time, which were entirely plain outside, but elaborately
decorated within. The name is taken from Cornelius Jansen,
Bishop of Ypres, the founder of an ascetic sect, who died in
1638, and whose name is connected with a reform of manners in the
direction of simplicity. Towards the end of the 17th century,
indeed, there was comparatively little decoration on books, but the
binding itself was much improved. One name stands out prominently
as that of the last fine binder who continued the best traditions of
this period. Luc-Antoine Boyet, and his family, practised at Paris
between 1680 and 1733. He bound for Louis XIV., the Abbé

entitled him to a choice of the best morocco skins. Boyet
is celebrated for his fine doublures, which, if he did not introduce,
he was certainly the first to popularise. The style of his work was
plain gold lines, enclosing the back and sides with ornamentation
only at the corners and along the edges connecting the corners,
such ornamentation being still of the Le Gascon type—a delicate
embroidery of curve and dot. His best work, however, belongs to
the next century.
Some of the better English binding was done for James I]. His
books generally have heavy corner pieces and centres of arms, the
rest of the side being diapered with a single tool. They do not
differ from the French semis in character except that the thistle,
the trident, and other English symbols, give more of a native
appearance to the work. Some books done for his eldest son,
Henry Prince of Wales, who was a great collector, have very
heavy corner stamps, and the feathers with “Ich Dien” and H.P. in
the centre; others, done for Charles Prince of Wales, afterwards
Charles I., are similar in character, but rather lighter, having scroll
work suggestive of the Eve influence, and his arms, with C.P.
Many of Charles II.’s books were bound for him in France as
presentation gifts, but some English specimens have plain panels
with his crowned cypher between two palm branches, and the British
-Museum has a fine sample of the cottage ornament done for him in
1669. A great many bindings of this century have the fan shaped
ornament which was so prevalent in Italy during the 17th century,
when the art had become decadent in that country. Made up of very
small tools in close combination, which form a crowded central
xlv.
circular ornament in the middle and semi-circular ones at the
corners, it sometimes has a rich effect, but there is no balance in
the design, the tools composing it being all minute, and very poor
in character.
We must not omit to mention a Scotch school of binding that
did some good work at the end of the 17th century, and disappeared
after the first quarter of the 18th. The leather was most often blue
and somewhat over-elaborately covered with small leaves and dots,
but the designs are ingenious. Inferior examples were produced
down to 1750.
The names of certain English binders are known, but it is
impossible to connect many books with their names. Those of John
Reynes, binder to Henry VIII., can always be known by his stamp.
Thomas Berthelet, is called printer and binder to Henry VIII. and
Edward VI., but he was only an employer of workmen for
covering the books he printed. John Gibson, of Edinburgh, was the
appointed binder to James VI. when king of Scotland in 1581.
Robert Barker and John Norton were his nominal binders after his
succession to the English throne, though, like Berthelet, they were
only employers. Samuel Mearne worked for Charles II. But so
long as no bindings can be identified as their work, their names are
of little interest.
A far better type, and the one.most distinctly native to
England, though also used about 1630 in France, is that known
as the cottage style, in consequence of the lay-out being a pent-
like arrangement of lines at top, bottom and sides. In this
type the spaces are filled in, sometimes with the French sprays
and branches in combination with lace-work, sometimes with
the small tools used in the fan ornament; little rings and scale-
work are also very frequent in the filling up and are particularly
characteristic of the English school. With reference to this work it
may be noticed that English binding suffered greatly from the
Scotch bindings.

inferiority in design of the tools used ; the only wonder is that so
many of the bindings look so well as they do, for on analysis of the
designs it may be seen with what poor material they were composed.
The art of combining tools to produce a good effect was also of the
most elementary kind, and they often appear to be thrown on almost
indiscriminately. Oxford and Cambridge adopted the cottage style
very largely in the productions’ of their Presses, clothed by their
own binders.
The chief private collectors of this time were Bishop
Cosin, for whom Hugh Hutchinson bound, the Earl of Oxford,
and Lord Chancellor Clarendon whose binder was Notts.
Sir Kenelm Digby can hardly be included, as, when exiled to
France after the execution of Charles I., he had his books bound
there, many by Le Gascon ; and when he returned to England at the
Restoration, he left his collection in France, where, on his death in
1665, it was dispersed. His books have his arms and those of
Valentia Stanley, his wife.
Other materials besides leather were largely employed during
the 16th and 17th centuries. Silk, velvet and embroidery were
extensively used for royal bindings from the time of Queen
Elizabeth, and throughout the Stuart period, particularly on books
of devotion. Ornaments from the goldsmith and enameller also
continued to overlay bindings till the end of the 17th century,
tortoiseshell covers edged and clasped with silver being a special
feature of the late 17th century.
Embroidery, indeed, applied to this use was almost exclusively
an English taste, and nowhere are such fine specimens of needle-
worked bindings to be found as in England during this time.
Silks of exquisite colours, gold and silver thread, bullions and pearls,
delicately and intricately woven, combine to give richness of colour
and splendour of effect. |
The name of the Ferrars of Little Gidding, who founded a
xvii.
religious establishment at that place, is always associated with
embroidered covers ; but other sorts of binding were also done by
them. The British Museum shows a large folio bound for Charles I.
in leather elaborately tooled, and many specimens of both leather
and velvet, tooled in gold, came from their hands.
In the 17th century, then, there was a certain amount of good
binding done in England but chiefly in imitation of French
models. The Grolier style took but little hold of English taste; the
semis of the royal Stuart bindings lacked the finish of those done
for Henry IV.and Louis XIII.; the Eve style was copied with least
success of all, but the plainer De Thou or Bourbon models were
capable of more satisfactory reproduction, and consequently the
end of the period can show excellent examples of that school. To
sum up, during this period of two centuries, English bindings, admit
of the following classification: (1) Those in material other than
leather, and often decorated with enamels and gold and silver,
pierced and engraved; (2) Stamped vellum and calf bindings ;
(3) The Venetian-Lyonese work; (4) Occasional specimens of
French-Grolier work, very frequent ones of the French semis,
and some very good imitations of Le Gascon, done between
1660 and 1720, which delicate style, curiously enough, was the
most frequently imitated of all French work; (5) The cottage
ornamented bindings—the one distinctly English style belonging to
the 17th century.
With the 18th century in France, both binders and collectors
increased prodigiously in number. We have said that the best of
Boyet’s work comes into this time; he was followed by his son
Etienne Boyet, Duseuil, Antoine Michel Padeloup, Louis Douceur,
Pierre Lemonnier, Anguerrand, the Deromes, and Pierre Paul
Dubuisson, binder to the Duke of Orleans. Mosaics of inlaid
leather were very numerous; those of Padeloup being especially
important.

We have no longer to notice any royal bindings, kings had
ceased to lead the way in art and letters, and binding, like other
things, was becoming democratic. On the other hand, the names of
collectors are legion. Mdme. de Chamillart, wife of the finance
minister of Louis XIV., had her books bound by Boyet and
Padeloup, with her arms in the middle, and two C.’s interlaced in
the corners. The Baron de Longepierre is known no longer by his
tragedy of ‘ Medea,” but by his books, which have the Golden
Fleece at the four corners. The Comtesse de Verrue had many of
her books quite- simply bound; others with her arms and
the name Meudon, where she kept her library, in gold.
The Count d’Hoym, Saxon Ambassador at Paris to Louis XV.,
had his books stamped with his arms. The Duc de la
Valliere had an important collection. Much sought after
are books that have in a decorative oval the inscription
‘“Ex Museo Girardot de Prefonds.” It was the period, too, of
the femmes brbliophiles : every woman of fashion had her library ;
the daughters of Louis XV., Marie Adelaide, Victoire and
Sophie had each her books bound in different coloured moroccos :
red for the elder, olive and citron respectively for the others.
Mdme. de Pompadour’s books numbered nearly 4,000. They
are distinguished by three castles in her arms; and Mdme. du
Barry, though she could hardly read, made a point of following the
fashion in books, and had hers bound with her arms and the motto
‘‘BouTEZ EN AVANT.” Bisiaux’s only title to fame is that of being
her binder.
We will take the chief binders of the 18th century as they
succeed each other, and as far as possible give some characteristics
of their style and work.
Luc Antoine Boyet worked for all the great collectors, for
Fléchier and Colbert, for the Comte d’Hoym and Bellanger, for
Longepierre and Madame de Chamillart. He is credited with
xlix.
having first instituted the doublures, but Gruel connects the
name of Florimond Badier with this innovation. His strong point
lay in the forwarding, his style of decoration being mostly very
simple, and consisting principally of a framework of lines, the
angles and edges only being ornamented, which is preserved to the
present day as almost the only pattern of binders. His bindings
are chiefly remarkable for their doublures.
Augustin Duseuil worked in the Boyet style, but was rather
lishter and less severe in his decoration. He married Frangoise
Padeloup, and is known as the binder to the Duchesse de Bery, and
as having worked also for the Comte d’Hoym. He could not,
however, have bound the books in the style always associated with
the name of Duseuil, which were done quite 40 years before his
time. This style consists of a simple framework of lines, with a
renaissance fleuron at each angle, and also permits a similar
decoration at the interior of the angles, and a centre piece of arms.
Everything concerning this Duseuil is wrapped in obscurity, though
for a long time he was supposed to be an abbé of the name,
at the end of the 17th century, who occupied his leisure in this
manner. Certain it is that this style appears on many of the
books simply bound for the libraries of Mazarin, Colbert and Kenelm
Digby.
Padeloup, called Le Jeune, succeeded Boyet as velceur du rot,
and was one of a family that furnished many binders in this century,
The characteristics of Padeloup, whose work has always had
many admirers, is the beauty of his leather, the perfection of his
forwarding and the eclecticism of his decoration. His mosaics
must not be considered, for, though greatly admired for the
brilliancy of their colouring, the tile-like design of their
compartments is often very feeble. Most of Padeloup’s
morocco work had excellent doublures, of which the dentelle
borders are based on the 17th century tools, which were

gradually becoming heavier. in style. As a binder, Padeloup
was rightly celebrated. He worked for Comte d’Hoym,
Mdme. de Pompadour, Bonnier de la Mosson, and the chief
collectors of the time, and was succeeded as velieur du vot by Louis
Douceur, whose work, though in the same style, is heavier and
somewhat clumsy. Padeloup was the first who employed for gold
work large engraved plates, which were used in an arming press.
Jean Ch. Henri Lemonnier, binder to the Duke of Orleans
in 1757, was one of a large family of binders. He is celebrated
for his elaborate mosaics, representing allegorical scenes, landscapes
and bouquets of flowers, which are rather fours de force than
successful examples of decorative binding. He was succeeded by
Tessier. Francois la Ferté bound for Louis XV. and for
La Valliere.
The Deromes supplied more binders to this period than any
other known family. Jacques Antoine was the contemporary of
Padeloup, but it was probably his son, Nicolas Denis, about 1761,
who once more gave to the art the distinction of a new style. The
continuity of the traditions of Padeloup in his work may be due to
his having purchased part of the latter’s plant. His dentelles a
l'oiseau were imitations of those of Padeloup, who first used the
bird-tool, which is much finer in his work than in the imitations of
Derome le jeune. He also did mosaics—a taste for which was
the fashion of the age, but his dentelles are what made his
reputation. They are distinguished from preceding dentelles by
not being made up of the same tools in repetition, but in
combination, thus affording much more variety. The types of his
tools, which were lightly shaded, were taken from the great
metal workers of the time, and may be seen in the balconies and
staircases of the houses of the period. We see in his work and in
that of his predecessors how the tools employed had been gradually
getting thicker and heavier, until in those of Dubuisson, who had
li.
the largest collection of the century, they are distinctly solid in
character. What constitutes a style, says Marius Michel, is the
repetition of the same ornamental forms in all crafts and industries
of a period. The 18th century style was a distinct one, and
the motives of the Derome and Dubuisson dentelles may be found
on all the pottery and tapestry and furniture of the time.
Jean Paul Dubuisson was engraver and painter, and tool-cutter,
as well as binder and gilder. He was relieur du rot in 1758, and
executed large and massive dentelles.
Two other binders of this age are worthy of mention. The
family of Anguerrand supplied many binders, but Pierre was the
most important. He also bound for the Marquis de Paulmy,
between 1770 and 1775.
Jean Pierre Jubert is supposed to have been binder to Marie
Antoinette, he is known as a getter up and binder of almanacks in
the dentelle style.
Alexis Pierre Bradel, nephew and successor to Derome, worked
in his manner, but is best known as the inventor of a mode of
binding for valuable books which enabled them to be cased for use
without being forwarded for binding.
With Derome began the definite deterioration of binding,
especially in the forwarding. Derome himself cut down not only
the books entrusted to him of his own time, but the most valuable
works of the past, thereby setting a fashion of smooth edges which
lasted until Thouvenin who was the’ first in the next century to
reform forwarding, and cultivate a taste for large margins. He also
introduced the use of hollow backs, sawing the sheets to embed
the cord. All this, together with the deterioration of leather that
took place at the same time, caused binding during the last 50 years
of the 18th century to reach the lowest ebb to which the art was
ever reduced. The above names, except that of Thouvenin, who
belonged to the Empire and the time of Louis XVIII., are the last

that appear in the list of French binders, before their craft was
submerged during the time of the Republic.
The French Revolution was fatal to all forms of luxury in art,
and the bindings of the time have nothing on them but patriotic
or revolutionary emblems, such as the phrygian bonnet, a sheaf
of spears or the figure of Liberty. The Carnavalet Museum
has an interesting collection of the tools used on books of this
period.
We shall consider the restoration of French binding after
1820, in a few remarks dedicated to the art in this century.
An impetus was given to English binding about 1720, by the
patronage of Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford, who founded
Eliot and
Chapman were his binders, and their style, since known as the
an important library which was continued by his son.
Harleian style, consisted of a broad tooled border with centre panels
in which the pine apple figures as a prominent tool.
Thomas Hollis had emblematic tools cut for him by the artist
Pingo, which he used on the works to which he considered them
suitable ; the caduceus of Mercury is found on books of oratory,
the wand of A¥sculapius on medical books, the cap of liberty
on patriotic books, the owl on works of philosophy, and the
He left his
name and property to Thomas Brand, who continued this style

of binding.
At the end of the century the French emigrants introduced
their own style. Distinguished amateurs, who had learnt the craft
as an amusement, now practised it to support themselves, and the
names of the Comte de Caumont, the Comte de Clermont de Lodeve
and the Vicomte Gauthier de Brécy appear in the records of the time,
besides that of Du Lau, the friend and bookseller of Chateaubriand.
There succeeded to the Harleian binders, Roger Payne, whose name
Ahi.
is associated with a particular English style. He learned his craft
under Pote, the bookseller to Eton College, and when he came to
London was first in partnership with Richard Wier, whose wife
is always known as the most remarkable of book restorers,
Russia leather had come into use about the middle of the century,
and much of Payne’s best work is done in that. His tools
were original in form, and some say both designed and engraved
by himself. These were placed at intervals in the spaces to be
decorated, and the field studded with gold dots. He used the
sraight grain morocco then in fashion, and his designs, though not
important in composition, look well upon it, and were distinctly
original As a forwarder he was a good workman, and the
elaborate and original way in which he described in his bills the
details of the work he had to carry out on a particular book have
made them famous. He did every part of the work himself, and
had he not lived in intemperance and poverty, might have proved
himself a greater artist than he did. He died in 1797.
It remains only to say a few words about binding in this
century, both French and English.
To the earlier part of the time belong to France, Bozérian and
Thouvenin, both good as artists, and Courteval, Lefevre and Simier,
whose work was not in any way remarkable. Up to the end of the
last century, skins had been tanned and dyed with great care ; from
the first years of the Empire, down to 1840, they underwent quite
a different treatment, greatly deteriorating thereby; sheepskin,
grained to imitate morocco, was even used instead of goatskin, and
the forwarding was of the most slovenly description. After 1830,
amateurs of binding came to the front again, and the art rapidly
improved. Purgold, the contemporary of Simier and Thouvenin,
began to reform the forwarding, and from his workshop came
Bauzonnet, to be known later, and especially in conjunction with

Trautz, as among the chief of French modern binders and finishers.
It was Purgold who reintroduced small tools in combination, instead
of blocks, which had prevailed for some time. Purgold bound with
flat backs, Bauzonnet rounded his books much more, while Trautz
carried the rounding to excess, thereby making his books open
with much difficulty, a fault which is characteristic of the majority
of recent French work, excellent as it otherwise is in technique.
When Trautz became head of the business he reserved the finishing
to himself, leaving the forwarding to skilled men under his super-
intendence. Cuzin was one of his workmen, and Thibaron worked
upon his traditions. Lortic, a rival of Trautz and Bauzonnet, was an
excellent binder, and more original than the former in his designs.
Niédrée, Duru and Capé, contemporaries, must likewise be
mentioned, and Chambolle who succeeded Duru. But the
criticism to be passed on modern and contemporary French
binding, which is perfect in technique and has attained the highest
point of finish, is that it copies slavishly the old traditions in design,
and shows not the slightest tendency towards originality, the
motifs of the work being chiefly taken from the last century.
In England, a little colony of Germans—Baumgarten, Benedict,
Walther, Staggemeier and Kalthoeber—continued the traditions of
Roger Payne; though it was Charles Hering who worked chiefly in
his style. Kalthoeber’s work has nearly always a star or circular
ornament on the back; he also revived the practice of paintings on
the edges of books, underneath the gold, a practice carried out still
more extensively by Edwards, a binder in Halifax.
John Whitaker initiated the style termed Etruscan, in which
designs from the decoration of Etruscan vases were copied in colours
by means of acids instead of in gold. To John Mackinlay, for
whom Payne worked before his death, most of these binders owe
much of their excellence.
Charles Lewis, in conjunction with Staggemeier, bound most of
Iv.
the books for Mr. Beckford, of Fonthill. Dibdin was a great
admirer of his work at a time when the taste for books made his own
writing on the subject so popular. He says of Lewis that ‘he
united the taste of Roger Payne with a freedom of forwarding and
squareness of finish peculiar to himself.” Lewis was assisted by
Clarke, famous for his tree-marbled calf, in binding the library of
the Rev. Theodore Williams, and Bedford, the best of all English
binders in forwarding, did much important work for the late
Mr. Huth.
In a general survey of binding from an artistic point of view,
it is not difficult to trace the phases through which it passed,
nor to see some of the chief reasons for its decadence. We have
emphasised the period at which it attained its highest artistic point
as, roughly speaking, the first half of the 16th century, but this is
solely from the point of view of design—the technical qualities
being rough without any of the finish that distinguishes later
work. Many think the Eve and Le Gascon period to have been
finer, but the designs of those masters lack the simplicity and
dignity that distinguish the early work. Ornamentation is too
profuse, there is too great a multiplication of detail, and too
greata repetition of parts.
It will be observed, too, that as the mechanical aids to the art
grew in number, taste declined. When line and circle constituted
the chief elements of design, there may have been occasional poverty
of invention, there was rarely error in taste and judgment. With
the advent of the tool cutter came the temptation to lavish
decoration without regard to balance of parts or appropriateness of
design. The foliated style gave ample scope for this weakness,
and much of the work of the Eve school is an example of it.
It is a relief to turn to the Bourbon bindings, which may have been
a reaction from the excessive ornament, with their fine untouched

lvi,
spaces of leather having as sole decoration the coats of arms of their
owners.
When highly decorative work again came into fashion, we
see little else than reproductions of the great models, with often an
extremely injudicious combination of different styles. Padeloup, in
France, and Payne, in England, are the only binders who can be
said to have originated a new style. Binding can never again
become a fine art unless invention goes hand in hand with the
execution which now leaves nothing to be desired. In all depart-
ments of decorative art we see the same inability to escape from the
traditions of the past, but in none has there been such servile copying
of the old models as in the decoration of books.

These volumes are specimens of French painted binding of the
16th century. The set of books displays an unusual style, each volume
being tooled to a different pattern, and though the obverse and reverse
covers of each volume are alike in design, the colouring of the two
sides is varied. The binding appears, from the fleur-de-lis and dolphin
surmounted by a coronet, which are worked into the design, to have been
executed fora Dauphin of France; but, from the following inscription on the
title of the first volume, the book appears to have already passed into other
hands in the 16th century: “ Hoc utriusq Juris corpus, perpetuze memorize,
et amicite ergo, Nobili et ornatissimo viro. D. Udalrico Piirzero, dono
dedit Joannes Georgius a Fraysing et Aychach.”

31 EVANGELIA QUATUOR. MS. of the roth Century.
The two covers of this very remarkable and interesting book are of
different periods, the lower one being of earlier date than the upper. The
manuscript and the covers have been very fully described in two memoirs
published by the Society of Antiquaries, 1885.
The lower cover is of the 8th century. It is of South German work-
manship, and shows considerable traces of Irish influence. The border, of
which only two of the original parts remain, encloses a cross patée. On the
arms of the cross are four enamelled figures representing the Saviour, and
lines of Garnet ornament. The spaces between the cross are filled with
chiselled work of interlacing animals. The quadrants at the external angles
have lost their original decorations, and are filled with figures of the four
Evangelists of the end of the 16th century, at which period the MS. was
rebound. The material is either gold or silver gilt, and whole is orna-
mented with jewels.
The upper cover is of the Carolingian period, probably made by order
of the Emperor Arnulf between 896 and 899, and in that part of South
Germany which was under the rule of the Dukes of Bavaria. In the centre
is across with the crucified Saviour repoussé surrounded by an arcaded border
decorated with gems. In each of the spaces between the arms of the cross
there are, in addition to the jewels in each of the upper divisions, two angels,
and in the lower divisions the figures of the Virgin Mary and St. John, and
St. Mary Magdalene and Mary the wife of Cleophas. The whole is
surrounded by a border profusely decorated with jewels.
The edges of the upper cover are also decorated with jewels.
This MS. for many centuries belonged to the Abbey of Noble
Canonesses at Lindau, on the Lake of Constance, and was sold by the repre-
sentatives of one of the Canonesses on her death, after the dissolution of the
convent in 1803.

medallions —16 on each cover—representing the Prophets and Saints with
their symbols. On some are found inscriptions in Greek uncial letters.
These ivories are very early, possibly of the 9th century, and probably were
executed in the South of Italy, in the part known as Magna Grecia, but
the enamel work in the centre, the crucifix and background, is far less old,
and appears to have been inserted in comparatively modern times, say
about the year 1450.

The ivories on the sides are of German work, and were probably
executed about the end of the 14th century or early 15th. The velvet, &c.,

In ancient calf binding ; the side inlaid with metal plates and enamel,
and set with gems; a Crucifixion carved in ivory and containing three
figures, forming a sunken centre-piece of remarkable execution.
This MS., so remarkable for its age and preservation, as well as for its
binding and _ sculptural ivory, was described by Montfaucon in the
“ Bibliotheca Bibliothecarum ” (1739), and assigned to the close of the 8th
century. It was then in the possession of the Baron de Crassier, who had
obtained it from the collection of the church of S. Pierre, at Liége. A
manuscript note by the Baron de Crassier, concerning his faithful
reparation of the binding, is pasted on the cover of the book.
