About This Item

Bibliotheca Wittockiana, [Bruxelles], first edition, 1985. Laminated wrappers, large 8vo, 30 cm,. 171 pp, plates. The impressive catalogue of a major exhibition. From a flyer: "La Bibliotheca Wittockiana, fondation privée consacrée à l'art de "la reliure, participe elle aussi aux festivités d'Europalia, et ce avec une exposition consacrée à l'histoire de la reliure espagnole, aspect peu connu et cependant remarquable du livre en Espagne. A côté d'un rare spécimen de l'art roman sur un précieux manuscrit du Xlle siècle, d'un important groupe de reliures héraldiques à provenances royales datant des XVe et XVIe siècles, d'un exemple caractéristique de reliure du XVIe siècle de type islamique, d'un chatoyant ensemble de reliures dites "à l'éventail" exécutées aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, et sans oublier les célèbres décors "à la Cortina" du début du XIXe siècle, le visiteur aura l'occasion de découvrir un thème encore peu étudié dans l'histoire de la reliure d'art en Espagne : la reliure mudéjare. Pour la première fois en effet, le prestigieux trésor conservé à la Cathédrale de Ségovie et constitué d'un ensemble unique de livres et manuscrits des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe siècles, reliés dans le style mudéjar en caractéristique, quittera la Cathédrale pour être exposé à Bruxelles devant d'être présenté au public madrilène." Text in Spanish, French and Dutch. Wrappers slightly creased, minor marks to rear wrapper. Errata & Corrigenda sheet laid in.
