    Hello Barbara,

    Well, being able to date the manuscript as precisely as possible is 
    of considerable interest.  

    Knowing what type of beast sacrificed its hide may help to orient the
    origin of the VMS to a particular locale.

    I believe that examiniation of the vellum of the VMS revealed that it 
    has a 'rough' side and a smooth side which may tell us something 
    about the process used to produce the vellum.  

    Since vellum could be scrubbed to a fine thinness it may suggest the
    process used to produce the vellum.

I read that the hair side is better for writing. Normally, facing 
pieces would be hair side to hair side and flesh side to flesh side. 

Ciao ............ Knox
