VIRB

In short, vélin (vellum), is the first parchment used by early Christians in the second century. It helped to develop sacred text, art, and illustration. Below is an indepth look at the derived term and meaning for this project.

Vélin (pronounced: vel-lum)
Because Christianity was based on the Word of God as revealed in the Bible, early Christians, the selfr-designated people of the Book, sponsored duplication of sacred texts on a large scale. What did the earliest Bible illustrations look like? Because the books are frail things, we have only indirect evidence of their history in the ancient world. It begins in Egypt with scrolls made from papyrus plant, which is like paper but more brittle.

Not until the second century BCE, in late Hellenistic times, did a better material (than Egyptian papyrus) become available. This parchment(vélin), bleached animal hide, lasted longer than papyrus. They were strong enough to be creased without breaking and thus made possible the kind of bound book we know today called a codex, which appeared sometime in the late first century.

Between the second and the fourth centuries CE, the vélin gradually replaced the papyrus roll. This change had an important effect on book illustration. Scroll illustrations seem to have been mostly line drawings, since layers of pigment would soon have cracked and come off during rolling and unrolling. Although vélin was less fragile than papyrus, it too was a fragile medium. Nevertheless, the vélin permitted the use of rich colors, including gold. Hence, it could make book illustrations.

The name represents something more than just music, a band, an album, or a scene. This represents the creation of art. Vélin is concerned with art through music.
