Paper

The paper used in the facsimile edition is chosen to resemble 17th century paper without making concessions to higher modern standards, and to guarantee the quality for the longest preservation possible. This paper is also best suited for the necessary folding of the larger maps. The paper used is Mellotext Natural White.
