Girdle binding is a medieval bookbinding style where the book is enclosed in a protective cover or bag that is attached to a girdle or belt worn around the waist. This method was popular in medieval times and allowed individuals to carry their books conveniently. The cover often had a strap or loop that could be fastened to the girdle, making the book easily accessible while also protecting it from damage. Girdle bindings were practical for carrying texts and manuscripts, and they often featured elaborate decorations reflecting the importance of the book.
