Two 15th Century Gothic Bound Books

Two Gothic style bound books – one completed, one still in progress – first displayed at Ruby Joust X in 2022, which are my first foray into medieval/renaissance bookbinding. They are inspired by, but not replicas of, extant books I’ve personally observed in the collections of the Morgan Library in New York, NY and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.
