Parchment maker
Parchment makers (also Pirmenter, Buchfeller, Parchamenter ) used untanned skins from young cattle, sheep, donkeys and goats to make parchment and drum leather . With the emergence of the document and book system, the monastic auxiliary craft for the sacred art of writing prospered at the beginning. The manufacture of paper slowly but steadily replaced the parchment.
The Buchfeller can be found in Vienna in the 13th century , which is related to the active writing activity in Vienna at this time. Buchfellern, Bognern, belters and painters were exempted from the treasure tax, but they were obliged to live in a street that bordered the ducal court.
In Nuremberg around 1400 the parchments appear under the professional titles pyrmeter or permeter . Around 1433 their guilds are mentioned and that they did not have to do a masterpiece. Their craft was given as a gift, which meant there was compulsory hiking and traveling journeymen were entitled to hiking support (gift) from the craft.
