[Jorge_Stolfi]

It is just as difficult to assess paper production and distribution between 1400 and 1600.

Paper obviously was cheaper than vellum.  Guess why it replaced it.

The Arabs introduced paper-making to Iberia in the X century.  While the industry may have spread to Germany only in the late 1300s, paper made in France, Italy, etc. surely was traded all over Europe.

All the best, --stolfi
