What is vellum? Isn't it a kind of skin?Here's what appears to be an original I Quattro Libri Dell'Architectura (~1570) by Palladio:"rebound in early vellum"http://www.theworldsgreatbooks.com/palladio.htm
Yes, I suppose that would have been the easiest route. 😉Am I mistaken that there has ever been vellum from human skin? I'm not sure where I got the idea from. Regardless, it's interesting that vellum is so durable, according to the Wiki entry.

Sadly, I don't think you are mistaken... not sure about ancient times but at least one Nazi had lamp shades made of human skin (preserved unique tattoos) and I have concerns about one of my collegues... not a nice person, as well! 😮Wally
