| adam_text | This is the story of how you came to be holding
this book, how you came to be following its printed
words across dozens of pages, pages made not from
bamboo, silk, parchment or papyrus, but from paper.
The emergence of paper in the imperial court of
Han China brought about a revolution in the
transmission of knowledge and of ideas. For over
two millennia, it has allowed ideas, religions,
philosophies and propaganda to spread around the
^vorld v/ith ever greater ease. Paper was the first
writing surface sufficiently cheap, portable and
printable for books, pamphlets, prints and journals
to be mass-produced and to travel widely. It enabled
an ongoing dialogue between communities of
scholars who could engage v^ith each other s ideas
across continents and years.
The Paper Trail traces the westward voyage of
this groundbreaking invention, beginning with the
Buddhist translators responsible for the spread of
paper across China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
It describes the theologians, scientists and artists
Λνηο
used paper to create the intellectual world
of the Abbasid Caliphate,
snidi
journeys with the
missionaries and merchants who carried it along the
Silk Road. It charts how, when paper finally reached
Europe in
12.76,
it was indispensable to the scholars
and translators who manufactured the Renaissance
and Reformation from their desks.
Paper created a world in ^vhich free thinking could
flourish, and brought disciplines from science to
music into a new age: the paper age. Paper still
surrounds us in our everyday lives
—
on our desks,
wrapping our food, in our
^vallets.
But in a digital
world, is the age of paper coming to an end?
This is the story of how a simple Chinese invention
has wrapped itself around our world, with history s
most momentous ideas etched upon its surface.
