Description
Excerpt from The Manufacture of Pulp and Paper, Vol. 4: A Textbook of Modern Pulp and Paper Mill Practice
A shortage of papyrus in Asia Minor resulted in the invention of parchment, a specially dried calf or goat skin, filled by rubbing in chalk. Because of a similar famine in Rome, boards, covered with wax, were used; they were written on with a sharp instru ment called a stylus. Several layers of wax were sometimes put on the same tablet.
