A 1.5. The size of the parchment document
The size of the parchment document depended on the size of the raw skin, which in turn, depending primarily on the species and age of the animal. Due to the high price of parchment, the surface of the parchment was maximised, and the extent of the parchment document often stretch from one of each skin to the other. For large-scale documents, the skin of large adult mammals had to be selected, the surface of which varied to a great degree. In the case of unfavourable environmental conditions, the difference thicknesses and fibre orientations can cause the deformation of the historical records.

Pärgamendilehe suurus.
Suurte pärgamendilehtede kahjustused on osaliselt määratletud ka sellega, millisest naha osast suuremõõduline pärgamendileht nahast välja lõigatakse.
Läbivas valguses dokumenteeritud suur ja ühtlase paksusega õhukene hästi säilunud pärgamendileht on väljalõigatud naha keskosast. br>
Large parchment lesions are also partially defined by the part of the skin where the large parchment is excised from the skin.
Documented in transmitted light, a large, thin, well-preserved parchment sheet of uniform thickness is cut from the center of the skin.

Suuremõõdulise pärgamendi servades esinevad sageli mitmed jäsemete alad, mis võivad oluliselt kiirendada pärgamendi degradeerumist.
Vasakul ja paremas servas on jäsemete alades pärgament rohkem degradeerunud ja sellest tulent on pärgament tugt deformeerunud. br>
Multiple limb areas are often present at the edges of large-scale parchment, which can greatly accelerate parchment degradation.
On the left and right sides, in the limb areas, the parchment is more degraded, and as a result, the parchment is severely deformed.

Suurte loomade nahkadest suuremõõduliste, õhukeseks lihvitud pärgamentide puhul on ürikud servades sageli väljaveninud ja kortsus. Kortsud on tekkinud väiksema tihedusega kõhuäärsete alade väljavenimisest. br>
In the case of large-scale, thinly ground parchments from the skins of large animals, the documents are often stretched and wrinkled at the edges. Wrinkles have arisen from the stretching of areas along the abdomen with lower density.

Pärgamendilehe suurus.
Suurtel pärgamendilehtedel võivad pärgamendi omadused üle pinna oluliselt erineda. Läbivas valguses dokumenteeritud pärgamendi servas eristuvad jäsemete alad, kus degradeerub pärgament kiiremini. Läbivas valguses on degradeerunud jäsemete alad vähem läbipaistvad. br>
On large sheets of parchment, the properties of the parchment can vary greatly across the surface. In the edge of the parchment documented in transmitted light, the limb areas are distinguished where the parchment degrades faster. In transmitted light, areas of degraded limbs are less transparent.
