Factors de degradació intrínsecs als llibres : la naturalesa del material bibliogràfic<hr />
Com bé apunta l'annex E de la Carta del Restauro de 1987, abans de qualsevol intervenció, el llibre, com a bé cultural, s'ha de considerar en la seva complexitat i multiformitat històrica, artÃstica, material i funcional. El coneixement de cada material original és indispensable per procedir correctament en la feina. En l'article es repassen exhaustivament les degradacions principals de carà cter intrÃnsec dels materials més utilitzats en la manufactura del llibre al llarg de la història.
As observed in Appendix E of the Carta del Restauro (Carta della Conzervazione e del Restauro degli ogetti d'arte e di cultura [1987]), before undertaking any project of conservation or restoration, professionals must consider that as a cultural asset and in historical, artistic, material and functional terms, the book is a complex, multi-format artefact. Knowledge of the various original materials used to make books is crucial to such professionals and this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the main types of intrinsic degradation in the materials most commonly used in the history of book making.
