/ˈveləm//ˈveləm/The word "vellum" originates from the Latin word "vulgata," meaning "skin" or "parchment." In the Middle Ages, vellum was a high-quality writing material made from the skin of animals, typically calves or lambs. The process of producing vellum involved cleaning, de-fatting, and stretching the skin to create a smooth, durable surface for writing. Vellum was prized for its flexibility, smoothness, and durability, making it ideal for illuminated manuscripts, books, and documents. The term "vellum" was adopted into Middle English from Old French, and has been used to refer to this type of parchment since the 14th century. Vellum was used extensively throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, before being largely replaced by paper in the 18th century. Today, vellum is still valued for its unique texture and the artistic techniques used to create its intricate illuminations.
