 Medieval H282/10 |
| In the middle ages, monks and kings wrote on parchment (tanned goat skin) or vellum
(stillborn calf skin). The writing instrument they used was a quill from a goose, eagle, swan, duck or turkey. Ink consisted of
mineral pigments mixed with gum (tree sap) and water. Charlemagne was the first to institutionalize "Caroline" lettering which was common to
all European countries.
