The Daily Cal recently spoke to David Faulds, Curator of Rare Books and Literary Manuscripts, about L’office de l’Eglise en François, a book in the Bancroft Library that was until recently thought to be bound in human skin. As a note in the OskiCat record now states, the book is actually “bound in horse hide, resembling black pebble-grained morocco; with metal clasps; edges gilt. Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) analysis conducted in December 2015 determined that the binding was not human skin, as had previously been described.”
