Two fundamental material components are examined: the bindings themselves and the illustrations, which transform old volumes into high-value artistic pieces. Throughout its pages, it addresses how the antiquarian book has been historically appreciated as a valuable object and how, today, it has been revalued from an artistic perspective. The study is conducted through the eyes of the bibliographer, attending to aspects such as typography, composition, and illustration, and links the analysis of binding to the concept of style, in both its technical and artistic aspects, offering a tour of the pieces preserved in the San Metropolitan Seminary library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of artistic bindings as an art object and bibliographic heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of technical and artistic binding styles in antiquarian books.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluation of the antiquarian book from the bibliographer's perspective: typography, composition, and illustration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCataloging and description of the pieces in the San Metropolitan Seminary Library.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between the material components of the book (binding and illustration) and their artistic consideration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers, librarians, restorers, art and book historians, as well as collectors and enthusiasts of bibliophilia.
