Parchment also lasts for thousands of years in the right environment and, if made properly, can retain what is written after multiple soakings. So if you want a book to last, yet not written in stone, do it on parchment.

@iamcurious9541 2 года назад

One sheet costs 100 dollars. Say you can make 20 pages out of it (which is my upper estimation btw) A 300 page slim book would already cost 1500 dollars in parchment alone.

The use of "an" and "a". You use "an", when the following word starts with a vowel, such as "an artist" and "a" when the next word begins with consonant. Such as "a historian" . All of which is further confused by the use of a comma. And my use of "vowel" and "when".

@congozilla 3 года назад

As an artist, I'm terribly attracted to the permanence of these extremely difficult to find parchments. There's lots, and lots of parchment works in the world that are way more than 1,000 years old. So, if you have a project that can be helped by that kind of permanence - A family tree - for example. I think it can be a very, very good idea to contact Pergamena for making a purchase. Plant based papers, with the exception of (Maybe!) acid free cotton rag just can't possibly hold up over extreme lengths of time and mostly just turn to dust unless preserved in well controlled environments protected from temperature, humidity, and (sunlight) ultra violet and other types of radiation.

I never even tried to sway my girlfriend, now wife, to give up meat. After we'd been together for some time, she chose it entirely on her own. And now we've been together for over 42 years!

Fun fact: Torah scrolls are made with parchment scrolls to this date.

@birdcritic Год назад

i never knew what parchment was till now. i just new it was “old-timey paper” but now knowing how it was/is made and how much time is put into its creation, shines more light on how important old texts are

Nice show. Just for the record, this craft is alive and well by us Jews. All Jewish males wear "Tefillin" which must be hand written on parchment, every Torah Scroll must be hand written on parchment ect. Since these factories usually operate within the Jewish community there is no need for websites and public display.. but this craft is alive and well.

As an artist I'm so thankful someone is left in this world doing this craft. For two reasons. One because this in itself is an art that shouldn't be lost. And two. I love using their parchment for my work and getting the real stuff is VERY hard to come by. They really are one of the last two make it. Before I found them I even tried to make it myself and failed lol.

I didn't even realize parchment was still used, nor did I know it was animal hide. This is such a fascinating channel.

In the old tannery days, they used dog poop and water to remove hair from pelts. They also used urine to degrease sheeps wool dye cloth and treat hides. The whole process was located down wind and as far out of town as possible.

I'VE WORKED WITH MY HANDS ALL MY LIFE IN SOME FORM OR FASHION. THE COST ON MY BODY HAS BEEN ENORMOUS. IN THE SHORT SPAN OF 45 TO 50 YEARS MOST EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE AREA OF POWER TOOLS. I STARTED OUT DRIVING SCREWS WITH A SCREW DRIVER, THEN A PUMP SCREW DRIVER UP AND DOWN, FINALLY A ELECTRIC POWER DRILL, NOW MOST OF THE MARKET HAS BECOME BATTERY DRIVEN. JUST THAT ONE SMALL TOOL. ITS AMAZING 👏 IM GLAD THAT MEN LIKE THIS HAVE FOUND A WAY TO STAY RELEVANT IN THIS FAST PACED WORLD. I TIP MY HAT SIR AND WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD.

They still make it in Greece and the name pergamini that you refer to is not Latin but Greek and refers to a place called pergamos in turkey now that was back then Greece and it used to be one of the biggest most famous producers of this type of paper.

@Lt.Waffles 3 года назад

For one, they say he's the only one in the US that currently makes it. They didn't say anything about the rest of the world. And two, she refers to the word pergamena, which is a latin word for parchment. If you listen the the video, he changed the name of the business to that. No one was claiming it was Greece word, no one was claiming it Greece didn't also make paper. The Latin word was made way before Greece was even a thought.

@stel1000 3 года назад

@@Lt.Waffles bro this word is Greek. They call it that way because of what I said. And then the latins/romans took it too.

@stel1000 3 года назад

@@Lt.Waffles you’re just wrong. You know nothing about history. Greece came before Rome. And this word was Greek.

I think the parchment is quite different. This parchment have more finishing and scraping process to make it more clear to write. Is there any in SEA that sell parchment with this kind quality maybe in the future i can make purchase of it for special occasion

@user-yw4fz6xk2j 2 года назад

Parchment comes from the Greek city Pergamon in Turkey, modern Bergama. Pergamena is Greek, not Latin, it's the adjective that shows you're from that city, like Parisian or Londoner 😉
