textile bindings
A very ornate style of fabric binding, popular in
England and France during the Renaissance, and in
England into the 18th century. The books were
sumptuously bound in satin and velvet of various
colors, and were often embellished with needlework
in multi-colored silks, as well as gold and silver
threads. (156 , 254 , 347 )
