The ancient Library of Pergamum is regarded as the second best in ancient Greek civilisation. Following a shortage of papyrus, the Pergamenes invented a new substance to use for parchment in codices called 'pergaminus' / 'pergamena' after the city and made of fine calf skin (like vellum). The library at Pergamom was believed to contain 200,000 volumes, which Mark Antony later gave to Cleopatra as a wedding present.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon
