During the Renaissance, manuscripts were renowned for their exquisitely crafted covers made of fine Moroccan leather, with delicate foliage patterns hand-tooled in gold adorning the bindings. Brought to Europe via trade routes from the Far and Middle East, this style of ornamentation flourished during that time period and lent a new vibrancy and lightness of design to manuscript production. This journal captures the timeless beauty of Italian Renaissance-style binding in the 15th century. 176 archival quality acid-free pages, with a faux leather cover. 3 1/2 in. x 5 1/2 in.
