Another example of how scribes erased mistakes from parchment - scraping. Although the surface disruption looks more diffuse, maybe using something like pumice rather than a blade.

This parchment item was recycled into a use in a binding evidenced with creases and cuts.

From beast to book - Parchment, made from animal skin, can vividly show what it is made of. This hole, left by parchment maker's knife, contains hair of the skin's first owner, a calf that lived a thousand years back.

A decade ago I planned to make a photo book focusing on the beauty of book damage. I still plan to do so but will share some of the images I took here.

Pic (my own): Leiden, UB, BUR Q 1 (ca. 1100).

The sides of medieval books can be quite beautiful. And because of the materials used, paper and parchment copies look very different.

Paper in older books is brittle and uneven, and has a yellowish colour - though not usually so for medieval paper.

Parchment tends to curl, giving the long side of the manuscript a lovely "wavy" appearance.

Pics: Leiden, UBL, SCA 28 (9th c); Leiden, Archives, SA 207 (1717, not strictly medieval).
