Paper was invented by the Chinese sometime around 100 AD., although it took more than a millennium to diffuse across to Europe. Paper made from tree pulp, though, is a surprisingly modern invention. Until the late nineteenth century, paper was mainly manufactured from linen fragments, recycling tattered rags. Linen is a fabric made from fibers of the flax plant, and any fibrous plants can in principle be converted into paper: hemp, nettles, rushes or other coarse grasses. But as demand grew, spurred on, as we’ll see, by the plethora of books and news papers churned out of the printing presses, other suitable fibres were intently sought. Wood is a fabulous source of good quality papermaking fibers . . . Page 211
