contents: Paper had to be glued before it could be written on. The basis for this glue was animal offal boiled in copper kettles, diluted with water and supplemented with an alum solution. This had to be kept warm on a fire. A few sheets of paper, clamped between thin wooden slats, were dipped into the glue and quickly taken outand subsequently pressed again to get rid of the excess glue.
