Papyrus {puh-py'-ruhs}
From about 2400 BC or earlier, the people of Egypt used the pith of the sedge Cyperus papyrus to make a writing material known as papyrus. The material
continued to be regularly used during the time of the Roman Empire but began to be replaced by the cheaper PARCHMENT in the late Empire. Official documents were frequently made of papyrus
for several centuries thereafter.
To make papyrus, moistened strips of thinly sliced pith with the rough outer covering removed were laid side by side on a board, and another layer was
superimposed at right angles to the first layer. The two layers were then pressed and carefully beaten with hammers until the plant tissue ruptured; the exuding sap glued the strips together as
the papyrus was dried in the sun. The resulting sheet, which was very strong, was rubbed with polished, flat stones until the surface was smooth. To make a scroll, many sheets were joined
together and rolled on a wooden rod. In Latin, such a scroll was called a volumen (from voluere, "to roll"). Several grades of papyrus were made for varying uses. |
Note: Each papyrus paper is hand drawn so there are no identical copies of each item. Prices below do not include delivery which vary from one region to another. |
