A colleague needs to find a source of standardized terminology for decorative patterns, motifs and ornaments used on bookcovers and bindings. Examples of the items which he would like to identify would be meandering geometric patterns, leaf patterns, trefoils, lozenges, leaves within lozenges, finials and so forth. If you know of such a source, I would appreciate receiving that information by my direct email address rather than the listserv. I will post a single listing of any sources sent to me. Many thanks. -Bill Broom Dept. of Art & Art History, Duke University [log in to unmask]
