Bookmarks, a brief history:
Bookmarks first appeared at the same time as the production of the first handwritten books, and were probably used in the first codices. They emerged in Europe, Africa and Asia, and were predominantly rigid (made of wood, bone or gold or other metals), because at the time books were still unique and precious objects.
It was during the middle ages that the foundations were laid for the bookmark as we know it today, with the use of string, strips of leather and ribbons, followed by the first paper or thin wooden bookmarks.
In the nineteenth century the bookmark became the tool we now know and love, printed on paper and often including a hole with a small string tied through it.
From then on, the bookmark started to play an important role for readers everywhere!
