One of the best-known<br />
authorities on <strong>Islamic</strong><br />
book bindings is Max<br />
Weisweiler (d. 1968). In<br />
his detailed study Der<br />
islamische Bucheinband<br />
des Mittelalters nach<br />
Handschriften aus<br />
deutschen,<br />
holländischen und<br />
türkischen Bibliotheken<br />
(Wiesbaden 1962), he<br />
showed a great number<br />
of rubbings.<br />
However, in his private collection of study materials he has many more<br />
rubbings and notes on <strong>Islamic</strong> bindings. A page from his study notes is<br />
shown here. Source: Weisweiler Archive. Leiden University Library, Or. 22.307.
