'''Parchment''' is a material for the pages of a [[book]] or [[codex]] made from fine [[calf]] skin, [[sheep]] skin or [[goat]] skin.

According to [[Roman Empire|classical Roman]] sources, parchment was "invented", by Eumenes of Pergamum, around the 3rd century BCE, although the Ionian [[Greece|Greeks]] had been writing on animal skins as early as the 5th century BCE. This replaced [[Egypt]]ian '''papyrus''' as demand rose, and the reed-based material became more expensive.

Parchment also had the virtue that, in emergency, it could be scrubbed and scoured until blank and then, as a '''palimpsest''', reused (albeit at the cost of the original text).

Later, by the 11th century CE, the [[Moor]]s of [[Spain|Spanish]] Andalucia had imported, via the Arabian countries, a [[China|Chinese]] invention, '''paper''', and parchment slowly began to go out of favour.

'''Calfskin''' parchment is more familiarly referred to as '''[[vellum]]''' .
