Answer:

  1. Most medieval manuscripts were written on specially treated animal skins called parchment or vellum that were thought to be stronger and slightly springy. The pelts were first soaked in a lime solution to loosen the fur.Once the fur was removed, the skin was stretched and scraped and stretched while still wet. As the skin was dried, the craftsman adjusted the tension so that the skin remained taut. This cycle of scraping and stretching was repeated over several days until the desired thinness was achieved
  2. The Middle Ages held a long heritage of papyrus writing production. The word papyrus refers to a thick type of paper made from the pith of the papyrus plant. Up until the seventh or eighth century, this fragile Egyptian reed made the inexpensive material suitable for writing rolls but is was not sufficient for texts bound in books. Its pages tend to snap off when they are repeatedly turned, and the folds are not strong enough to support the constant pressure on sewing threads on its spine. The non-durable papyrus was typically a type of manuscript that was crafted into the form of a roll.
