Azure (Equinoxe) Ultra Lined Hardcover Journal - Paperblanks - Bog

This blue and gold Paperblanks Equinoxe Azure journal reproduces a 1688 binding protecting L'office de la Semaine Sainte. The original binding was adorned "a la fanfare," a handtooled pattern edged in gilt. "Fanfare," which was a style popular in the seventeenth century, required tremendous skill on the part of the bookbinder and was reserved for books of great importance.
