Spanish Medieval Lacing - 8-Pointed Star (4x5)

Uitzenddatum: Feb 06, 2022

In this series of videos I will be making a records book from the late #medieval and early modern periods. These books were used by merchants and officials to keep accounts, inventories, minutes and general business records. In this video I demonstrate an 8-pointed star lacing pattern which was used to attach the turn-ins to the inside of the cover and as a decorative element. This pattern seems to be primarily associated with books of Spanish origin.
