Evidence
"The sewing thread (black arrow) and the tacket thread (red arrow) as seen in the centre fold of fols 4v and 5r in codex Veria, Dēmosia Kentrikē Bibliothēkē, KB 10 (detail)."
Remarks
In codex Veria KB 10, both black sewing thread and red tacket thread are utilized. Tackets were usually cut and removed once gatherings were bound into a book block, but they were occasionally left in place, where they can still be found today in the spinefold (p. 76).
