Description

Much work is required to ensure the well-being of the manuscripts in the care of our libraries, archives and other collections and the regular seminars in Copenhagen provide a good opportunity for conservators, archivists, librarians and those who work with manuscripts to meet and discuss their problems.

The eighth seminar deals among other things with wooden bindings, the manufacture of parchment, the conservation of embroidered bindings, the study of paint layers, the restoration of heat-damage parchment, binding decoration and hand tools for Ottoman period manuscripts, biomonitering of rare books and documents, German stamped bindings, new recipes for the conservation of leather and parchment, as well as codicology and palaeography.

The book is well illustrated and contains references and a list of manuscripts.
