Paper & paper making, ancient and modern

by Richard Herring

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

There are two instances of the letter c with a macron. Using the Unicode combining diacritical, this will display on this device as c̄.

The terms table and tablet (a small table) are used in reference to ancient writing surfaces.

The term size as used in this book often refers to glutinous material used in the paper-making process to make the paper surface smoother.

Some minor changes to the text are noted at the [end of the book.] These are indicated in the text by a dashed blue underline.
