| Abstract: | Summaries. A brief historical background is given to the dismemberment of manuscript volumes and the existence in collections of numerous single leaves and fragments. Some characteristics of parchment are described and emphasis is placed on how differently from paper it must be treated. The requirements of good matting design and technique are laid out and a description given of how they may best be met. A thread matting method - an entirely new concept - is introduced. |
