For the celestially minded and lovers of dark light, we present
Nova Stella. This book cover, with its central star shape, exerts
an emotional pull like the North Star for nighttime wayfarers.Our
Nova Stella cover comes from the 1789 binding of Missale Sacri
Ordinis Praedicatorum, printed during the Settecento period by
Octavio Puccinelli publishers. During this time bookbinding became
at once simpler and yet more complex. 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.The free space around the central object is
as important as the ornamentation that surrounds it, just as deep
space is part of what makes stars so inspiring. Here we see brocade
with floral and heart shapes, gilt-edged broad string iron lines,
single punch gilding and a cross with flowers and initials.
