Do I wonder how much were the tariffs about this?
A treasure of books written by French monks of the medieval era was linked to strange “hairy” light of the distant light that kills animals in an ancient and boom of global trade, a new study agreed.
Many of the more than 1,000 coriacea tombs on exhibition in the Clairvaux Abbey Library in Champagne were made with a seal and morsa of skin from areas such as Greenland and Scandinavia, according to research published in Watchday in the magazine.
The 12th -century readings were previously thought with the local skin of wild boar and deer, according to the report.
“Contrary to the predominant assumption that books were developed from materials of local origin, it seems that the [monks] They were deeply integrated into a global commercial network, “the researchers wrote.
To test the volumes, the scientists examined seven skin fixings and conducted a genetic investigation in nine more books, according to the study.
They found that part of the DNA of the animal skin belonged to the populations of Arpa of Scandinavia, Scotland, Iceland and Greenland, the Champagne region.
The manuscripts were probably written by monks who traveled “in areas that are located on European trade routes of the thirteenth century,” according to the study.
The choice to use the skin of the seals, which have thick hair that helps keep them hot in ice water, can have votes of its color, which was white in the thirteenth century but since then it has vanished to the brown.
The authors of the books were known in the thirteenth century as “white monks,” the researchers said.
