  Whitley, Kathleen P. THE GILDED PAGE: THE HISTORY & TECHNIQUE OF MANUSCRIPT GILDING.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2010 6 x 9 inches paperback 238 pages
Second edition; revised, with the addition of color plates and new information on ancient Egyptian Papyrus gilding. The Gilded Page traces the history of gilding from ancient Egypt and Babylon through Rome, the Near East, Mediæval and Renaissance Europe, and finally into the modern day studio.

This is a must-have book for book artists and illuminators, explaining in detail the historical and modern techniques of manuscript gilding, along with recipes and helpful hints. Learn step-by-step methods of applying and burnishing gold, described in a sensible and easy-to-understand way. Learn about the tools, methods, and materials employed in flat, raised, and pattern gilding for manuscripts and paintings, along with historical mordants such as Gesso Sottile, Gum Ammoniac, Gum Arabic, and Garlic Juice; and modern mordants such as Acrylic Gesso and White Glue.

This work is the most complete source available for detailed information on this ancient, obscure, and highly-prized craft. The Gilded Page is a valuable resource for conservationists and historians, as well as any artists interested in this ancient art form.

Kathleen Whitley is formally trained as an artist, and has received international recognition for her artwork. Her research into gilding and illumination was primarily due to her personal interest in historical methods and techniques. She currently lives in New England with her husband and their three cats.

  Wolfe, Richard J. (translator) DER VOLLKOMMNE PAPIERFÄRBER: THE ACCOMPLISHED PAPER COLORER.
A facsimile reproduction and translation into English of the earliest extant German treatise on paper marbling and decoration, together with an introductory discussion of the earliest specialized literature in Germany on the marbling and decoration of paper (by Richard J. Wolfe). New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2008 5.25 x 7.5 cloth bound with a cover-paper reproduction of an early German decorated paper 180 pages
This new work, limited to 300 copies of which 275 are for sale, is a facsimile reproduction and translation of an important early German manual on decorated and marbled paper. Following an introduction by Richard Wolfe, the book displays the facsimile on the left page and a parallel translation on the opposing page.
All available information points to Venice as the entrepôt and to Augsburg, Germany, as the first recognizable production center for the art of marbling paper. The art of marbling was anonymously transferred from the Middle East to Europe shortly before the beginning of the seventeenth century. Germany remained the center for this and other methods of paper decoration in the following centuries, with factory-level industrial manufacturing initiated and carried on from the early nineteenth century. However, since these crafts were conducted in the secretive ways of the medieval guilds during the earlier period of their European life, little detailed information on their methods found its way into print until much later. It was not until the beginning of the nineteenth century that a serious and authoritative literature on marbling and paper decoration began to develop in Germany and in other locations.
In the historical introduction to the facsimile reproduction and his translation of this work, Richard J. Wolfe summarizes the professional literature on marbling and paper coloring that began to appear in Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Der Vollkommne Papierfärber, published around 1823, is the earliest work of its kind that has survived. Wolfe shares his experience with a seemingly unique copy of this rare and seminal treatise that he initially encountered in Leipzig in 1987. He also discusses its relationship to other early pertinent literature that was published in Germany around the same time, particularly the works on bookbinding and paper coloring produced by Christian Freidrich Gottlob Thon. The story has a somewhat surprising ending.

Richard J. Wolfe's lengthy career as a rare books and manuscripts librarian has been distinguished by an extensive amount of bibliographical research and writing, especially on the history of marbled and decorated paper. He is also the author of Marbled Paper, Its History, Techniques and Patterns, published in 1990.
