AD FINITUM

This book was bound using an Ethiopian style wooden Coptic binding as taught by Dan Essig. Materials used are wood, mica, hand made paper, leather and brass. 

The images placed under the mica were taken on a trip to Sicily, showing the temples of Agrigento and Selinunte. The texts in front of the book are Cantos from Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia “Inferno” and in back from his “Paradiso” in translations by H.W. Longfellow.
