"The parchment, also called parchment or membrane, was manufactured for the first time in Pergamum from which the name derives, on the initiative of King Eumenes II (195-158 BC), as the pharaoh of Egypt, Ptolemy Epiphanius, had blocked the export of papyrus all over the world. We can affirm that the restoration and preservation of parchment are complex human activities, in which contributions from different scientific worlds deriving from the Italian and European artisan tradition converge. Even if each work has peculiarities, questions and uncertainties that make it different from any other, documentary restoration now consists of a series of codified operations, with certain results and which involve the use of products whose use is safe and whose durability. over time it has been ascertained and proven not only by experience, but also from repeated laboratory tests and aging simulations. This without detracting from the skill - not only manual - of the performer, who intervenes - never forget it - on almost always unique and unrepeatable goods, where an error could have fatal consequences. Restoration is therefore, first of all, a fundamental moment of study and knowledge, of ""recognition"" of the cultural heritage in all its values.
