scales binder
An anonymous London binder active from before 1460
to about 1491, so called because one of the stamps
he used most frequently represents a pair of
scales. The scales binder used decorative stamps
on his bindings and is believed to be the only
English bookbinder to have used both the stamped-
and cut-leather methods of decoration. (167 , 236 )
