The sewing of this book is based on an old manuscript reported to be from Greece. Half the sections are sewn to one cover board and the other half of the sections is sewn to the other cover board. The two halves are joined in the center with a figure eight or butterfly stitch. The leather decoration is done with punched holes, sometimes with other leather, vellum or paper strips woven through the holes or with a decorative paper under the leather and seen through the holes. A bone folder can also be used to score lines. The cover boards are made of wood. Some book making experience is recommended before taking this class
