Quote: A faithful scientific copy published by Manuscriptum Publishing House, reproducing every little detail of the original...It is interesting which scans they used, publicly available or another better scans.

I wonder why they put a compass on the box though, makes it look like a pirate treasure. I guess it's a convenient way to make it look more fancy. The gloves are an interesting choice as well, especially since the current trend among curators appears to be to ditch the gloves; being able to feel what you're doing decreases the risk of damage. Maybe in this case it is to keep the material free from shiny finger grease?
David owns the Siloe facsimile - it would be interesting to see what difference the triple price makes.

I'm a record collector and have always liked the smell of finish (of printing in that case), always being a bit disappointed when it wanes in the course of time

I would agree with Koen that it serves two purposes: to give one the feeling of a professional dealing with the historic artefact, and the more practical issue of sparing the book from finger grease.

Register or Login to view.I have one collectible manufactured in a sealed envelope, and I remember scratching my head over how to open it without breaking the seal. Finally I was able to carefully separate the glued side edges of the envelope and approach the contents from that unexpected direction.
The guys who make these seals don't always appreciate the collectors' unwillingness to break them, yours is a lucky case

How's this? I can try taking another if you would like.
