I cringe every time this guy opens a book and turns the page. He seems to handle these gems rather hazardously.

[@ryecatcher1366]

A 16th century book. acid pouring out of his fingers? He must own the books and have more money than sense!

[@resurgam44]

Actually, no. There is no damage being done to anything in this video. Antiquarian books (and early manuscripts) should *never* be handled with anything but bare, clean hands, unless there are extenuating circumstances involved. Using gloves reduces tactile feedback and increases the risk of tearing pages. Books have always been produced to be read, and I can assure you that 15th and 16th century printers did not have cotton gloves in mind when assessing the potential longevity of their product. Early texts printed using cotton-rag rather than wood-pulp are especially durable (before c.1750).
