Wachs·ta·fel N f HISTORY

Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

Das Pergament war für die Buchherstellung ( Buchbinderei ) und die Buchmalerei ( Kalligraphie ) besser geeignet, als das brüchige und im feuchten Klima des Nordens schwer zu konservierenden Papyrus.

Für Bücher und Urkunden verwendete man jetzt ausschließlich Pergament, alltägliche Dinge und Notizen ritzte man in Wachstafeln.

Das Blatt wendete sich im laufe des 13. Jahrhunderts zu Gunsten des kostengünstiger und vorerst aus alten Textilfasern hergestelltem Papier.

The parchment used for book production ( bookbinding ) and illumination ( calligraphy ) was better suited to the moist climate of the North than the brittle and hard, difficult to preserve papyrus.

Parchment was solely used for books and documents. One would carve everyday things and notes in wax tablets.

The tide turned during the course of the 13th Century in favor of cheaper and more time saving paper products which were made from old textiles.
