It was a significant medium for writing in the ancient world, particularly in the context of biblical manuscripts and early Christian writings. The use of parchment is mentioned in the Bible, and it played a crucial role in the transmission of biblical texts.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>The term "parchment" is explicitly mentioned in the New Testament. In <a href="/2_timothy/4-13.htm">2 Timothy 4:13</a>, the Apostle Paul, writing from prison, instructs Timothy: "When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments." . This reference indicates the importance of parchments for Paul, suggesting they contained valuable writings, possibly portions of Scripture or other important documents.<br><br><b>Historical Context</b><br><br>Parchment became a preferred writing material over papyrus due to its durability and reusability. Unlike papyrus, which was made from the papyrus plant and was more fragile, parchment could withstand more handling and was less susceptible to damage from moisture. This made it an ideal medium for preserving important texts, including biblical manuscripts.<br><br>The process of making parchment involved cleaning, stretching, and drying animal skins. The skins were then scraped to create a smooth writing surface. This labor-intensive process made parchment a more expensive material than papyrus, but its longevity justified the cost for important documents.<br><br><b>Role in Biblical Transmission</b><br><br>Parchment played a crucial role in the preservation and transmission of biblical texts. As Christianity spread, the need for durable copies of Scripture increased. Parchment codices, which were books made of folded sheets of parchment, gradually replaced scrolls. This transition facilitated easier reading and referencing of texts, contributing to the dissemination of Christian teachings.<br><br>The use of parchment also allowed for the creation of illuminated manuscripts, where biblical texts were adorned with decorative elements. These manuscripts, often produced in monastic scriptoria, were treasured for their beauty and served as a means of glorifying God through art.<br><br><b>Significance in Early Christianity</b><br><br>In the early Christian church, the use of parchment was instrumental in the compilation and preservation of the New Testament canon. As the church sought to establish authoritative texts, the durability of parchment ensured that these writings could be copied and circulated among Christian communities.<br><br>Parchment's significance extended beyond the biblical texts themselves. It was also used for writing theological treatises, letters, and other documents that shaped early Christian doctrine and practice. The ability to preserve these writings contributed to the development of a cohesive Christian identity and the spread of the Gospel message.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Parchment remains a symbol of the enduring nature of God's Word and the dedication of early Christians to preserve and transmit the Scriptures. Its role in the history of the Bible underscores the providential care in the preservation of divine revelation throughout the ages.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Parchment</span><p>[<a href="../w/writing.htm">WRITING</a>]<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Parchment</span><p>See BOOK. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A skin prepared for writing on; so called from Pergamos (q.v.), where this was first done (<a href="/2_timothy/4-13.htm">2 Timothy 4:13</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Parchment is made from the skins of sheep, goats or young calves. The hair and fleshy portions of the skin are removed as in tanning by first soaking in lime and then dehairing, scraping and washing. The skin is then stretched on a frame and treated with powdered chalk, or other absorptive agent, to remove the fatty substances, and is then dried. It is finally given a smooth surface by rubbing with powdered pumice. Parchment was extensively used at the time of the early Christians for scrolls, legal documents, etc., having replaced papyrus for that purpose. It was no doubt used at even a much earlier time. The roll mentioned in <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/36.htm">Jeremiah 36</a> may have been of parchment. Scrolls were later replaced by codices of the same material. After the arabs introduced paper, parchment was still used for centuries for the book bindings. Diplomas printed on "sheepskins," still issued by many universities, represent the survival of an ancient use of parchment. See following article.<br><br>James A.
