The English word parchment comes from the French word parchemin ("parchment, n." 2022) which ultimately derives from Pergamon, a city in modern day Türkiye and a center for parchment production in the ancient world ("Pergamon" 2022). Parchment is typically described as a highly stressed sheet material with a stiff handle which is made from the skins of small domesticated animals such as calves, sheep, and goats that are cleaned of their hair and flesh and then dried under tension on a frame. 10.3 Nineteenth Century Fine Art Prints on Parchment.10.2 Housing of Dead Sea Scroll Fragments for Exhibition.10.1 Conservation of Early Qur'an Fragments.7.8 Lubrication of Horny, Desiccated Parchment.7.4 Consolidation of Degraded Parchment.6.1 Mending, Filling and Lining Materials.5.5 Potential Alteration/Damage to Object in Treatment.5.4 Unique Qualities of Parchment as a Support.5.3 History of Manufacture and Use of Parchment.
