They can take a variety of forms and be made from many different materials, but their essential function is secure one board or cover to the other across the foredge of the bookblock and often the head and tail edges as well. Fastenings were in use from the earliest times, but after the introduction of printing and, more particularly, the near universal use of paper-leaved textblocks, their use gradually became more and more decorative and status-related (ie. for liturgical or ceremonial use), unless they are found on books which were intended to be carried about, in which case they retain a primarily functional purpose. Fastenings may also be found on enclosures. 2020-09-14T01:44:14Z 2459106.5723843 Fastenings 0 0 list 1 [[:Fastenings]] Fastenings# QUERY8ec3ef612c094a4cb24eb65274c14649 0 1 table 4 [[-Has subobject::Fastenings]] [[Translations available::Yes]] Fastenings# QUERY6029055c041de36c36a7c8ee9538354a 0 1 list 2 [[:Fastenings]] [[Skos:prefLabel::+]] Fastenings# QUERY909e1baabd7c0a5f8a6b53a3b919c08a 0 1 list 2 [[Skos:member::Fastenings]] Fastenings# QUERY1dd6aafc85d7ec0a50a4bab7c8222f75 0 1 gallery 10 <q> <q>[[Links to::~*Fastenings*]]</q> OR <q>[[Links to::Fastenings]]</q> OR <q>[[Links to::Fastenings.Narrower]]</q> OR [[Links to::Fastenings.Skos:related]] [[Links to::Fastenings.skos:member]]</q> Fastenings# QUERY5b20d4f3468e7e2549cfed372a20287e 0 [8,"smw_emptystring"] Fastenings# ERR4e597ee093689216845f189040b8da7a 0 [2,"smw_unexpectedpart","or"] Fastenings# ERR43f4621036e84a60139d7808ae841968 0 [2,"smw-datavalue-wikipage-property-invalid-title","Semantic relation","Empty strings are not accepted."] Fastenings# ERRb14d4edc11ff38231b06ebfb4f6329a5 0 Fastenings# 593e816ad25782309ee2f5ce320c11ef Ligatus 0 Fastenings# bdb1ee47cc75b134d74271b4f6bf94f5 Ligatus Clasps 0 en Clasps Cord and button fastenings 0 en Cord and button fastenings Broader 102 en Broader
