Saint Bartholomew was one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus, according to the New Testament. It is said that he was martyred in the 1st century by flaying - being skinned alive! For this reason he is considered the patron saint of leatherworkers, tanners, glove makers and bookbinders.

Saint Bartholomew's day falls on the 24th August, a date which has also long held significance for papermakers, printers and bookbinders.
