Sin embargo, a pesar de su relevancia, estas encuadernaciones, que datan desde el siglo xv hasta el siglo xix y que reflejan una gran mayoría de los estilos artísticos que se desarrollan en España a lo largo de este periodo de tiempo, han permanecido prácticamente desconocidas hasta el día de hoy. En el presente artículo, realizamos una panorámica a través de la Historia del Libro con el fin de estudiar y difundir este valioso tesoro bibliográfico. Para ello, identificamos las obras que visten las encuadernaciones histórico-artísticas más importantes; las encuadramos en sus correspondientes estilos decorativos; estudiamos su técnica de construcción así como los materiales de los que están compuestas; analizamos pormenorizadamente sus ornamentaciones; y aportamos una evaluación detallada de su estado de conservación, apoyado todo ello en una amplia documentación fotográfica.
[EN] The Holy Church Basilica Cathedral of Salamanca, see of the Diocese of the city, saves in its Archive and Library an important collection of historical and artistic bindings of high value. Nevertheless, despite of its relevance, these bindings, which date from the 15 th to the 19 th century, reflecting a great majority of the artistic styles that take place in Spain during this period of time, have remained unknown to the present day. In this paper, we take a panoramic view of the History of the Book looking to study and spread this valuable bibliographic treasure. To this effect, we identify those rare books with the most significant historical and artistic bindings; we fit them within their own decorative styles; we study the technique of their production and the materials they are composed of; we analyze their ornamentations in depth; and we provide a detailed evaluation of their state of conservation, supported by an extensive photographic documentation.

Para ello, se recurre a la visión del arte ligatorio en tratados generales primero, y en manuales específicos después. Se atiende, asimismo, al cambio de paradigma motivado por el movimiento bibliófilo del siglo XIX, y a su repercusión en los posteriores estudios de los siglos XX y XXI. En último término, se analiza la importancia de las nuevas tecnologías en la investigación y difusión de la encuadernación artística, en medida que establecen vínculos con la web semántica y la musealización virtual del libro.
[EN] A review of different methodologies applied in the study of fine bookbinding over time is presented. To this end, we draw upon the vision of binding art in general treatises first, and specific manuals then. The change in the paradigm motivated by the 19th century bibliophile movement, and its impact on the subsequent 20th and 21st centuries studies, is discussed. Ultimately, we analyze the significance of new technologies in the research and dissemination of fine bookbinding, as they establish bonds with the semantic web and the virtual musealisation of books.
