Title: Knižná väzba vybraných stredovekých rukopisov z Bratislavy, Kremnice, Košíc a Spiša
(Bookbinding of selected medieval manuscripts from Bratislava, Kremnica, Košice and Spiš) – pdf
Abstract: This paper studies bookbindings of medieval manuscripts from three different collections. Twenty-five books from a Kremnica parish library are deposited in Slovak National Archives. Viennese workshops, stored in Kremnica, especially Mathias and Blasius Coniugatus produced the most blind-tooled covers from Kremnica. However, it is possible that one bookbinding was made in a regional workshop. Only five codices from a library of Bratislava Franciscan monastery stored in the University Library in Bratislava are decorated by blind tooling technique. The author identified three of them. One was made again in Vienna by Mathias, second in Tegernsee Bavarian Benedictine monastery and third in a workshop Eichel-Lilie I. Batthyaneum Library in Alba Iulia owns many manuscripts from various institutions of Eastern Slovakia. A Dominican monastery in Košice had its own bookbinding workshop. It is possible to distinguish three groups of its products. Manuscripts for the Dominican library were usually decorated with the stamp Maria. Dominicans worked also for other owners of books, and they use different stamps and compositions for them (a group with a headstamp and a probable group with dominant composition). Bookbindings from region Spiš can be divided into two other clusters apart of a known Levoča workshop. The first is characterized by a bouquet composition and the second by a stamp with an eagle.
