Geistliche brosamen : von des Herrn tisch gefallen, von guten freunden aufgelesen

Subject

Metal clasps

Description

The use of clasps on books dates back to the earliest codices. Affixed to the fore-edges, clasps stabilize a book, preventing the vellum or paper leaves from fanning out and the boards from warping.
