Abstract
Recently, the methodological approach that has developed regarding the double historicity of the texts, the
duality - material and content - inside each of them, has allowed the overcoming of the opposition between
“the pureté de l'idée et sa corruption par la matière” (Chartier).
To fully understand the meanings of texts, it is crucial to study their material aspects. The moment, the place,
the writers, but also the purpose, the content, the authors and the recipients of a text profoundly affect the
exterior forms of a record, starting from the choice of writing materials.
Just now, when the space of writings is becoming immaterial, it is important to consider the causes and
consequences of past changes of writing surfaces and their impact on the most widespread and preserved
materials. Analyzing these changes, studying their causes and effects, the quantitative and qualitative
progresses of the different materials used, helps us understand memory and the present of our cultural
heritage.
