Proceedings of the Sixth International Seminar on the Care & Conservation of Manuscripts Held at the Royal Library, Copenhagen 19-20 October 2002.
The text provides a general history of horology, covering time-keeping worldwide and at all periods throughout history, from antiquity (Assyria and Egypt included) to the present day.
Much work is required to ensure the well-being of the manuscripts in the care of libraries, archives and other collections. The international seminars held in Copenhagen provide a good opportunity for conservators, archivists, librarians and those who work with manuscripts to meet and discuss their problems. Care and Conservation of Manuscripts 8 examines 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, biomonitoring of rare books and documents, German stamped bindings, new recipes for the conservation of leather and parchment, as well as codicology and palography. The book is well illustrated and contains references and a list of manuscripts.
