Box made from
1550 Danish Bible covers
Above: The spine
is the suede side of new leather painted with acrylic to match the old,
sewn loosely to holes in the original covers.
The holes were made at some point in the book's history to stab-sew the pages to
the boards.
The few extant pages of this mostly missing book were bought by the dealer
Pavlov to sell by the leaf.
9½" x 12½" x 1¾"
Minsky, 2000
