Original Recipe Text
The textile was block-printed with decorative patterns and used to line the interior spine and flaps of both the manuscript's wrapper binding and its accompanying slipcase (p. 144).
Evidence
"the block-printed textile used for the lining of the spine of the wrapper binding and its fore-edge flap is similar to the lining of the closing flap of the slipcase (UBL, 865 C 24)"
Remarks
The matching block-printed fabric suggests that the book and the slipcase were produced simultaneously in the same workshop (p. 144). Despite the use of printed textiles, the construction is described as seemingly low-budget because the book remains unsewn (p. 144).
