Mecca
This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are brown and yellow silk, and its bookmark is yellow satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in pale green Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in decorated paper from Paper Tree Nook in London, England.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this journal is a fragment of a c. 1400 Arabic coin, an artifact that is roughly the same age as Gutenberg’s printing press. Tap into something lasting.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
