Papyrus Antiquorum
The paper-reed of Asia, which yielded the
substances used as paper by the ancient Egyptians. The underground
root-stocks spread horizontally under the muddy soil, continuing
to throw up stems as they creep along. The paper was made from
thin slices, cut vertically from the apex to the base of the stem,
between its surface and center. The slices were placed side by
side, according to the size required, and then, after being wetted
and beaten with a wooden instrument until smooth, were pressed and
dried in the sun.
