英语词汇parchment的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	parchment
词源	parchment. Parchment, “animal skins prepared for writing,” is said to have been developed at the great ancient library in Pergamum, Asia Minor, when Ptolemy, a rival book collector, refused to export Egyptian papyrus to Pergamum. The Romans called the writing material pergamena charta, “paper of Perga- mum,” which became the French parchemin, this yielding the English parchment in the early 14th century.
