Italian Paper-covered binding No.1
The book I made for today is an example of a 16th-17th Century Italian paper covered binding where the signatures were sewn using a type of longstitch sewing through a primary wrapper then covered with a decorative secondary wrapper. I scanned and printed a woodblock design from that period and used it on my secondary wrapper.
There are a number of variations of this binding which I will show over the next few days. The models that I am making for these various Italian paper-covered, or limp paper case, bindings are based on information compiled by Maria Fredericks, which she shared with participants at PBI in 2012.

Hallo, Rhonda, are you sure that this is Italian? Do you can post the fonts? I don't recognize this technique. Thank you very much Giorgia
Are you asking about the woodblock design? I believe this particular woodcut image that I found is from the workshop of Lorenzo de'Rossi, in Ferrara circa 1500.
ok I'm going to see , very gentle, thanx
