Showcase Exhibition | 31.01.2018 – 12.10.2018
Highlights of the Liberna Collection
The Liberna study room remains open presenting the highlights of our collection. Highlights – visual and otherwise – from the Liberna Collection include the so-called Sigmaringen Psalter, bound in blue velvet with gold embroidery, from the early thirteenth century, and the twelve-part Blaeu Atlas, uniformly bound in vellum, from the seventeenth century. A Luther Bible, bound in the seventeenth century, even features a rather unusual exterior: it’s made of black-dyed sharkskin. The works on view are mainly book bindings – from classic full leather bindings with blind stamping or gilding to different types of cloth bindings to rather extraordinary examples, including a chained book and a “kangaroo binding.”
