From the introduction: "This book attempts to trace the evolution of the physical structure of the book in codex form, from its invention in the early centuries of our era to the end of the sixteenth century, a period I have arbitrarily designated as medieval. The subdivision into ten chapters follows a pattern of typological entities, defined on the basis of occurrence of a set of physical characteristics, partly confined within geographical and chronological boundaries." Contents: Part I The Mediterranean Heritage 1 The first single-quire Coptic codices 2 The first multi-quire Coptic 3 Late Coptic codices 4 The Ethiopian codex 5 The Islamic codex 6 Byzantine codices Part II The medieval codex in the Western world 7 Carolingian bindings 8 Romanesque bindings 9 Gothic bindings 10 Limp bindings.
