- Abstract
The National Library of the Czech Republic, Collection Preservation Division has long been interested in the research of non-visible information in books and bookbindings. We are using nondestructive methods, radiography is one of these study methods. In this article we are presenting the use of our instrument and some results and images of the internal structure of bookbindings. This device was acquired for detailed testing of X-ray capabilities and limitations in a survey aimed at making hidden elements, layers, or damage in the layers of book binding materials visible. Most parts of the bookbinding structure cannot be reached without breaking the top layers. For historical collections, recycled materials in bookbinding such as parchment folia, book sheets, letters, scrap, and other materials that may be older than the specimen. These materials can be found for example in the spine part under the book cover, or in other parts of the bookbinding. Hidden information with invaluable value of historical and modern bookbindings can be obtained just by radiography.
