السؤال 67

A museum label describes a medieval book as a richly decorated volume written on prepared animal skin. Which two terms does that description use?

  1. Papyrus for the writing surface and wood engraving for the decoration
  2. Parchment for the writing surface and illumination for the decorationالإجابة الصحيحة
  3. Paper for the writing surface and printing for the decoration
  4. Parchment for the writing surface and printing for the decoration

الشرح

Prepared animal skin used as a writing surface is parchment, and the painted and gilded ornament added to such a volume is called illumination, so both halves of the label describe a hand-made manuscript. Adding printing fails because printing is a way of reproducing text mechanically rather than a form of decoration, and it belongs to the very end of the medieval centuries.
