So beautiful. This is art. I am thankful that there are artisans in the world continuing to create this beauty. Thank you for sharing this with the world. We must never allow this to be lost.
My pleasure 😊
Great way to do nice flat corners, much flatter than radiating pleats, by the look of it. And lovely headbands!
Been watching bookbinding stuff and I'm amazed at the skills of these people. I wish I could do that.
you can. just takes practice and a few tools
Amazing quality and details!
Thanks for watching this video
we can see , Amin that you are also putting a great deal of tenderness in making this beautiful book
What artistry and skill. Mastery that will exchange hands for years to come. I just might learn how to do this.
Wow this work is truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Such a beautiful workshop and the tools are incredible. Best regards from South Africa 🇿🇦💫
With all due respect to the people involved in this hard work and detailed art, this is not traditional Persian binding, it s modern bookbinding, casework to be more precise, done by hand bookbinders. That is, a very, very new technique. The traditional methods I believe are only done today by restorers and conservators. A modern binder would say he was taught this method by his master, who was taught by his master who was taught by his master and it would seem quite a long lineage, but it would be in reality no longer than 60-80 years. Check out the work Sherif Afifi does when it comes to traditional styles.
This may be modern but it isn't common anymore, this type of work is pretty expensive to be used broadly or commercially. Having done some book repair in the past, I wouldn't want to touch one of those books for fear of destroying it further.
nobody says it s common. It s just not Traditional Persian binding, but modern casework. Traditional binding is oftentimes done on the finished sewn book by stretching the leather and covering the boards, then tooling it.
@@ArtaCartii I was thinking the same thing...within the first few seconds I was saying to myself, "looks like they do it just like everyone else!"
Thanks for the info. I was wondering if this was how ancient texts (early codices) were bound.
Bro, the design over the binding may be persian art but binding technique is modern. But at least they should preserve these art for future generations.
This is what you call art and skill! Our traditional knowledge and skills are on the brink of extinction, we should cherish and protect our valuable traditions with everything we can, because if we loose our traditional knowledge we lose our identity and culture as well, to secure your future you must protect your past!

When you sharpen your knife on the big stone, it that an abrasive kind of sharpening (removing metal, like a Norton stone) or a butcher's steel kind of sharpening (moving and manipulating metal).
Amazing! Thank you for this.

Another style of traditional bookbinding. Similarities but some differences
Muito bonito o trabalho. Totalmente artezanal.
I wish it weren't so heavily overedited. It would have been great to see a master work without all the quick cuts. beautiful craft.
In fact, most of the books you see, are poem books.
Thanks, but it was a 5 minutes feature for TV, it had to be short and edited with quick cuts.
ماشاء الله تبارك الرحمن.
BEAUTIFUL! if these are journals, I want one. Thank you for sharing this.
Those are poem books:
"The divan of Hafiz"

Espectacular!!!
Amazing!!!
Precioso trabajo
Thanks for
Why fake the spine? I don't understand it.
To make pages flatter
If you're referring to the raised hubs, as they are called, just beneath the leather cover material -- these are in imitation of the heavy cords upon which earlier books were traditionally sewn. The cords were then integrated into the cover boards as a means of attachment. Lastly, the leather material would be pasted onto the spine (by means of a flattened tubular paper structure) and the cover boards, afterwards being "turned-in" around the inside of the boards and spine.
Quite a lot of work compared to the case binding used here. What makes that feasible is modern adhesives and reinforcing materials.

🇸🇦❤️🇮🇷
What is the name of the book?
What is it about?
The title says the Divan (Works) of Havez, a very well loved poet among Persians, who love their poetry quite a bit.
Wonderful workmanship but this is traditional french bookbinding
Well, yes it is traditional French binding -- and English, Russian, even American. See this from the Chelsea Library youtube/DtJK_fcrLlY
This is traditional every country bookbinding lol.
where can i buy a blank book made this way?
Etsy.com

Not traditional at all! Just modern bookbinding, resembling somehow ancient.
خيلي قشنگ استادم،اسم موسیکی چه؟
خواهش میکنم
متاسفانه موسیقی که استفاده کردم هیچگونه مشخصاتی نداشت

why the false back binding strips? they could have been actual if they'd used a thicker cord to stitch to.....
Probably makes it faster and easier to craft the entire cover separately from the book instead of crafting it onto the book.
There are different thechniques.
@@Zeelian strikes me as "false advertizing" trying to led an air of gravitas that is underserved. if the book isn't worth binding with proper cords, just do a flat binding and let it be.....
@@timhyatt9185 I fully agree on that, but unf ppl tend to take shortcuts when possible.
The binding i have done all have "real" ridges from the actual cords.
@@Zeelian Of course you probably know that when sewing books on cords was the principal method used, materials and adhesives were very different from what is available today. Wheat paste and animal glue require a more integrated method because they have shortcomings that PVAs do not. So yes, it is possible to take shortcuts without losing durability and utility. And our lives are full of decorations and design elements with many different aims -- are books somehow apart?
