Parchment was created in the 2nd century BCE, with its origins traced back to ancient Pergamon in what is now Turkey. It was developed as a writing material made from animal skins, primarily sheep, goats, or calves, and gained popularity as a durable alternative to papyrus. The term "parchment" comes from the name of this ancient city, where the material was first produced on a larger scale.
