Astra, Nova Stella

This ethereal blue Astra cover comes from the 1789 binding of Missale Sacri Ordinis Praedicatorum, printed by Octavio Puccinelli publishers. The sewing was done on recessed cords to give the spines a smooth appearance and so, while the structure of books was uncomplicated, decoration became increasingly elaborate.
