okay what did i miss

(yes some of these overlap and some are suppositions. for example if parchment is always used for ephemera, rough drafts, notes, and never re-used or re-purposed, we can also assume that the author is unaware of wax tablets as a concept)

more medieval manuscript repairs

all from a miscellany containg thomas de chabham's "summa poenitentialis", southern germany (?), first half of the 13th c.

source: Basel, Universitätsbibl., B X 1, fol. 56r, 67r, and 71r

Ms. Codex 1233 is a pretty amazing manuscript. Originally written in the early-to-mid 15th century, it was used continuously through the end of the 18th century. Written in Cologne and probably used by the canons in the Cologne Cathedral, this notated breviary (a liturgical book containing the canonical hours - daily prayers - with musical notation) includes notes and additions made up to 1794. It also includes splatters of candle wax and one page that got a little too close to a candle!

if the cats don't do a lot of writing, what is parchment used for?

Parchment is basically de-haired, soaked, super thin leather. It's so easy to make that the question is less, "what is it used for?" And more "How can we use this?"

The hardest part is removing the hair, which requires an alcohol bath. SHADOWCLAN'S FERMENTATION PERK STRIKES AGAIN

It's often one of the first things a kit or apprentice will be taught about leather processing, because it's not a big deal if they bungle making it. It teaches them about using soaks, stretching, and skinning all at once. Kind of like the kitten equivalent of a class project; the Educator and the current Mentors will often plan this out as a big thing together.

Parchment will be made out of whatever little animal that was hunted in a sloppy way and has big gashes, cut into strips, and stretched in whatever shape makes sense.

So by "parchment," it's not neccesarily a beautiful, square piece of "paper" like in a book. It's leather shreds.

Most of the time this is used for art, with the very big, useful stretches most coveted by artsy cats like Sootfur. It doesn't take bistre well, but they have other pigments available to them. Sometimes it's used to practice sewing, which is ridiculously important for patching together all the little animal pelts they collect. Other times it's just given to whoever to play with.

#clan culture #You will not believe how incredibly easy it is to make leather products #It's 'you dont even need fire' level easy #Leather #Parchment #A long time ago I was trying to figure out paper and I had to halt because paper is actually hard as fuck to make in this region #I did not know that they were mostly using PARCHMENT #Which is NOT paper #It is SKIN

Fanart for the @coolskeleton59 AU/askblog!

Also,

i really recommend checking out the ask blog/AU! It's insanely underrated considering the amount of time and effort put into everything and the whole thing is such a genuinely cool concept!

genuinely begging historical fiction authors to interact with parchment just once before they start writing about it like it's paper with a different name

if you can't get book parchment, go ask a bodhrán player if you can touch their goatskin drum. that's functionally parchment, my dude, just not quite as highly treated as a writing surface (tho tbh not far off). THAT'S what your characters are interacting with. that scene where they're folding it up like it's paper, no scoring, no effort? yeah I didn't think so

and that spare sheet they're wasting by wrapping it around something? dude. that's a fucking sheep right there, if they're wasting it they better be absolutely loaded and this is a sign of their decadent wealth and misuse of resources

#roll up your letters my dude. no folding and no spare sheets #néide is a pedant #néide has opinions about books #parchment

2 types of 2 toned books. Stitching these together will always be my favourite part.

We are frequently asked why we don’t wear gloves in our manuscript videos. In today's #ManuscriptBasics, curator Dot Porter @leoba will do her best to explain. If you have a question, ask, and maybe we'll make a video to answer!

Cruz from twitter requested I draw Parchment from the CoolSkeleton59 AU! I was more than happy to oblige! Wonder where he's headed to...

[shimmyshimster]

A long time ago I made my first post, which was a fanart for this AU I really liked(still like tbh) ((COOLSKELETON59)), looking back at it, I noticed the proportions were so.. stiff... So I remade it! Here's the old and the new one next to eachother:

This character is Parchment and the design belongs to @bonetrousled ! Go check them out!

(P.S: This is a month difference (November 7 - December 15), so I'm really proud in my improvement!)
