Purpose of Course

For centuries, people have felt the need to record the events they experienced. Early civilizations recorded these events by drawing on walls, tablets, or papyrus. With the subsequent societies inventing paper, the need to keep and protect these papers emerged. Thus, a new branch of art, bookbinding, was born. As civilizations developed, the art of bookbinding has continued to evolve and has reached the present day. The goal of this course is to familiarize students with the history and theoretical aspects of Islamic bookbinding. At the end of the course, students will recognize various types of bookbinding and will be able to produce modern and classical Turkish bookbinding.
