By searching every binding in the Gallica database I stumbled on this treasure. The BnF doesn't know who made this binding and anyway they have never heard of Jean-Baptiste Gosselin, as a search of the entire BnF will show. (click here to see this binding). Because the gold tooling of Gosselin is so perfect you can readily see all the details of his imprints especially in this high resolution digital reproduction from Gallica.

Comparative Diagram 2 - 1785 Gosselin imprints gos-14



In Comparative Diagram 2, we look closely at the Gosselin imprint gos-14, when you enlarge these examples it is easy to see that they were all made with the same Gosselin tool.

Comparative Diagram 3 - selected Gosselin imprints



In Comparative Diagram 3, I show a collection of Gosselin imprints from a 2018 page (click here to see it). At that time I had just discovered the identity of this binder who I had previously nicknamed the MM binder and I cataloged all the tools with an mm prefix, so if you see tools on my pages with that prefix you will know that they are Gosselin tools, an example of this is shown in Comparative Diagram 4, gos-104 that is also found elsewhere as mm-104 but is not found in Comparative Diagram 3. I have not yet had a chance to up date this collection with some of the additional imprints (armorials and small tools) found in the decoration this Missale

A word of Caution

Even experts are sometimes wrong, before you spend thousands on a book, please do your own research! Just because I say a certain binding can be attributed to le Maitre isn't any kind of guarantee, don't take my word for it, go a step further and get your own proof. In these pages I have provided you with a way of doing just that.
