circuit edges
The projecting flexible covers of limp bindings
turned over to protect the leaves and edges of
books, usually of a devotional nature. The circuit
edge differs from the yapp edge in that the
overlap of the cover is not continuous. The
covering leather is turned over at head and tail,
with an independent flap at the fore edge. The
corners are square. This technique allows the
flaps to fold flat onto the edges. Sometimes
called "divinity circuit," or "divinity edges."
