CONT

Le parchemin : Du grec pergamênê, «peau de Pergame ». Les scribes de la ville de Pergame(colonie grecque en Mysie, au Nord-Ouest de l'Asie Mineure ancienne) élaborent le parchemin à partir du cuir, à cause d’une pénurie du papyrus venant d’Égypte. [...] Le parchemin offre l'intérêt de pouvoir être utilisé sur les deux faces. Le vélin(de l'ancien français veel, veau) est un parchemin de grande qualité, fabriqué avec des peaux de veaux mort-nés ou très jeunes.
