Recipe Details
Ingredients
paper gatherings, cord, leather
Preparation Steps
The manuscript was never properly bound; the gatherings were never sewn together. Instead, two tackets at the head and tail of each gathering were held together with a cord wrapped around them, creating a sort of tuft at each end of the spine (p. 77). At the head, a piece of leather was inserted through these tackets as a sewing support (p. 77).

Evidence
"codex Athos, Monē Ibērōn, 1322 (Lambros 5442) (Diktyon 24917), a nineteenth-century paterikon (collection of patristic and monastic writings) that was never properly bound"
Remarks
The gatherings of this paterikon are held together in an informal, provisional manner (p. 77). It lacks boards and a cover (p. 77). Fig 3 shows a detailed view of the 'tuft' formed by the cords and tackets (p. 78).
