What was the Library of Pergamum?
The ancient Library of Pergamum is regarded as the second best in ancient Greek civilisation. Following a shortage of papyrus, the Pergamenes invented a new substance to use for parchment in codices called 'pergaminus' / 'pergamena' after the city and made of fine calf skin (like vellum). The library at Pergamom was believed to contain 200,000 volumes, which Mark Antony later gave to Cleopatra as a wedding present.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pergamon
What was an illuminated manuscript written on?
The finest medieval manuscripts were made on vellum, which is a membrane on the inside of a mammal skin and was usually made from cattle or sheep. Paper, for most of the middle ages, was made of vegetable fibers that did not last as well as vellum, but some of the less expensive manuscripts were made on it. During the late middle ages, and abundance of linen rags lead to the invention of rag paper, which was far more durable than either earlier papers or vellum, and also had much better burst strength. The Wikipedia article on vellum (link below) says that vellum is more durable than paper, but it certainly is nowhere nearly as durable as neutral rag content paper. I have handled paper from the Gutenberg Bible, the Nuremberg Chronicle, and other books of that time, that are without any obvious indications of deterioration.

How do you apply vellum to paper?
I use a special vellum glue to attach vellum to regular paper. There are a few brands out there and they are all pretty much the same. If you use regular glue it may show through the vellum. You can do a search on various techniques by putting "vellum, technique" in the search engine. Good luck and I hope your project comes out great.
