Today's #ForeedgeFriday features a fore-edge title! These are usually found on books from the late Middle Ages to the 17th century, as it was common to store books with their fore-edges outwards.📚 This particular volume comes from 1587! [RESERVE FOLIO--942.008-RER]

It's #ForeEdgeFriday! These marbled edges reminded us of blue skies with wispy clouds - we're hoping the nice weather will appear in the forecast too, not just on fore-edges! 🌞 📕: WEG/L 11/TYP

Happy #foreedgefriday! This fore-edge detail comes from "The Epicurean" by Thomas Moore, 1827. The book includes a letter to the translator asking him to translate a "curious Greek manuscript" found at the monastery of St. Macarius.

What a treat! A closed #foreedge title on luscious leather binding. A lovely example of a title painted on the fore-edge of the bookblock. Commonly found on late medieval books which were stored with fore-edges outwards to the 17th century. #ForeedgeFriday
