The article deals with bookbinding techniques of decorating book covers in the seventeenth century. The Baroque style of ornamentation dominating during that century in Catholic countries did not extend its impact upon Protestant states. The ensuing stylistic division of Europe was connected with the application of different techniques of decorating bindings. The author discusses new tendencies in countries most active as regards bookbinding, such as France and England. He also outlines a cross section of the production of bookbinding workshops, which offered more modest covers for everyday uses. The article presents not only techniques of decorating the covers but also the bulk. The author describes techniques for embellishing the paper used for making the fly-leaves and covers (the paste and carrageen technique) as well as techniques dealing with the edges of the bulk (tinting and gilding). The article considers methods of dyeing and marbling the leather which was used for the covers, as well as embossing — with blind tooling, with paint and, most characteristic for Baroque ornaments, with gilt. The author characterises the tools used for these purposes — book binding presses, whose new forms (fillet, composing stick), devised in the seventeenth century, rendered possible a more efficient and perfect production of covers. In the last part of the article, the author discusses remaining forms of decoration — the mosaic (leather plate and intarsio) as well as duplication — a decoration of the inner page of the binding. These techniques originated in the 1600s, and became popular in the following century.
