So I just found something in my school library

This 1465 #frankenbook is an interesting archival specimen. The historical cover was taken from its textblock and stored in a separate box, and the textblock was rebound to a new leather cover for conservation purposes. However, this allows us a rare opportunity to see how this manuscript was bound, inluding the split leather support sewing structure and remnants of cord from the endhands. There is also a tiny hole that can be located in the center of each of the pages of the textblock, which may have been historical to the binding and used as another method of keeping the textblock together, with a cord strung through the center of the pages. 

In addition, we can see the damage of iron gall ink, a type of ink made from iron salts, that burns through paper over time. In this case, the design showed through the other side of the page, and a brownish residue has formed around the design.
