Publisher's Note
This book provides the reader with a comprehensive study of Cennino Cennini's formula for raised gilding. It is a fact finding text beautifully written for the beginner or serious student interested in the medieval art of applying gold to a gesso base that adorned the manuscripts of the 14th & 15th century. The author provides a historical background distinguishing flat from raised gilding, examines the current methods & de-mystifies many of the inaccuracies by providing a more systematic approach by carefully reevalutating the process with some advances in chemistry. Other chapters in the book pertain to gold related items such as: gilders' tools, dying vellum, the use of glaire, a more convenient approach to slaking plaster of paris, & the methods of preparing hide glue from parchment size. This treatise is divided into 3 major sections, preparing the gesso, applying the gesso & applying the gold. One section is also devoted to special preparations. Although the book is geared to modern day scribes & calligraphers, anyone interested in gilding will find this book an added welcome to their library. Size 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. 65 pages.
