500-Pack
I had a pack of office paper in my hands today... Perfectly white, 80 grams per square metre of silky smoothness, for use with any imaginable sort of writing instrument or machine. Something we take for granted, to use and waste as we see fit.
Now, consider a 13th century scribe. I think he'd sell the souls of his entire monastery to get his hands on one of those packs of paper, and then die in ecstasy upon seeing it. Quite a different perspective, isn't it?
