Prior to modern graphite pencils, the pencil was simply a rod of soft lead metal.

The alternative was the quill pen.

The predecessor of the graphite pencil especially popular during the Renaissance is who?

The predecessor of the graphite pencil that gained popularity during the Renaissance is the wooden stylus or the lead pencil, which used a core of solid lead or a mixture of graphite and clay. However, the modern graphite pencil as we know it was developed later, with the first true graphite pencil being created in the late 16th century when a large deposit of graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, England. This led to the production of pencils with a wooden casing that made them more practical for writing and drawing.
