Upcoming New England GBW Talk with Jeff Peachey // Harvard University –
November 19



Please join us for our upcoming lecture with Jeff Peachey:

The Conservation of Dante’s 1477 La Commedia



The conservation treatment of Dante’s 1477 La Commedia will be detailed in
this profusely illustrated lecture. An examination of the remains of
earlier binding structures, and decisions that lead to its resewing and
rebinding in an alum tawed goatskin conservation binding will be discussed.
During the treatment, evidence was found suggesting that the Inferno and
Purgatorio cantiche may have circulated separately at one point.
Differences between historic 15th century binding practices and modern
conservation binding techniques will be highlighted, as will the
difficulties of achieving a sympathetic relationship between original and
new binding materials. Observations on the history, nature and idea of
conservation rebinding will conclude the lecture, followed by an audience
discussion. Conservators, bibliophiles, bookbinders, librarians, Italian
scholars, and anyone curious about the physical structure of books will
find this lecture of interest.



Where: Schlesinger Library, Harvard University, 3 James Street, Cambridge,
MA

When: 6:00 – 8:00pm
