Document Summary
Pergamenum in latin comes from city of pergamum: vellum . Same etymology as veal : not limited for where it can grow, it is more smooth, but it is taken a long time to make and expensive. Paper: make from things masticated, cheap and stable and long lasting. Printing ink: marshall mcluhan: a ditto machine . Lots of paper mills in europe, not controlled by one area. Oral to written: alphabet effect (robert logan) Scroll to codex: shift from linear system of reading to random system of reading. Print to digital: democratization of knowledge, lack of censorship. Scroll to codex: rise of christianity parallels the rise of the codex. Society moves from one technological age to another (tribal, literate, print, electronic) 1820-1840: moved from oral culture to manuscript culture to printing culture. Two language versions: the english version and translated maori version (using only one dialect of maori)
