Abstract
- This is the great merit of Da Rold's book: it is a truly interdisciplinary study of paper in medieval England. Da Rold argues that paper had affordances that parchment simply did not have. The humanists, however, did not set the trend, and in Italy, as in England, hybrid books, in which paper bifolia nestle inside parchment ones in each quire, are common. [Extracted from the article]
