Azure (Equinoxe) Lined Softcover Flexi Journal

This blue and gold Paperblanks Azure Flexi softcover notebook reproduces a 1688 binding protecting L'office de la Semaine Sainte. The original binding was adorned "a la fanfare," a handtooled pattern edged in gilt. "Fanfare," which was a style popular in the seventeenth century, required tremendous skill on the part of the bookbinder and was reserved for books of great importance.
