3/5: The brilliance is in the details: neck rings show the calf's age, tension lines reveal stretching techniques, repair stitches identify different craftsmen's work, and even parasites tell us about animal health. Nothing is merely a "flaw" - everything is evidence!

2/5: What excites me most is how each parchment sheet reveals a complete narrative - from living animal to finished writing surface. The 346 calfskins used across three volumes preserve evidence of medieval animal husbandry, craft techniques, and workshop practices.
