الملخص EN

The mission of the bookbinder was considered as an art of the Islamic manuscript and a complement to the missions of the calligrapher and the painter.

Therefore, the bookbinder was responsible for preserving the papers of the manuscript from damage and taking care of its outward appearance so that it suits the value of the book, its content and sometimes the value of the person to whom the manuscript will be offered.

The concept of binding started to expand and develop from an age to another until it has become an independent art with its proper scientific and practical foundations, which made it a universal profession.

This progress and change throughout different ages characterized each era by fixed artistic characteristics.

During the Ottoman era, the arts of binding the manuscript consisted of many methods such as: the method of circumference, the method of stamping and pressing by means of molds, the method of unloading and cutting, in addition to the method of the Appalik and the method of coloring and gilding.

It is also important to mention that these methods were only achieved by using certain materials specialized in the manuscript book binding industry such as: raw materials, tools of binding and decoration on leather, in addition to some adhesives and some other elements such as stone and marble tiles.
