three layers of spine-lining, made from paper

Ingredients

paper, adhesive

Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

After the gatherings are sewn and a leather lining is applied, an additional three layers of paper strips are adhered to the spine (p. 90). These strips may protrude beyond the joints (p. 90). After the adhesive has dried, the extending sides of these paper layers are cut off using a sharp knife (p. 90).

Evidence

"Sufyani suggests the use of an additional three layers of spine-lining, made from paper, which should be adhered to the spine while the sides of these paper strips may protrude on both sides of the joints."

Remarks

The primary purpose of these paper layers is to further even out the spine surface, ensuring the final leather covering does not show unevenness (p. 90). The author notes that manuscripts combining both leather and paper linings were encountered during the study, validating this practice (p. 90).
