Description: Short article about the controversy over what natural fibers were traditionally used in the manufacture of paper. Author: Ellen McCrady.
Most people believe that the incredibly sound, white paper in early books was made from cotton rags, or cotton and linen rags. Dard Hunter himself never questioned this myth, but perpetuated it in his books, saying that early European paper was made of cotton and linen rags (Hunter, 1974).
