Talk:Bible paper

Super-Bible paper of the future
I know, I know, "in popular culture" is a pretty silly section to have. But in case anyone is interested, the Orange Catholic Bible in the classic science fiction novel Dune has pages of a sort of super-Bible paper. It's pretty marginal, yes, but at the moment I can't think of anything else to add to this page.--Pharos 05:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Gold edges
Is there a reason why they put gold on the edges of the paper? And is there a technical term for the process? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.117.186.18 (talk) 18:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Gilding is mainly just for decoration. Alternatively, some book edges may be stained in various colors (red being a popular one). Gilding happened more with older books, but still can be found on many leather-bound books (a book being leather-bound is now more of an aesthetic choice, and gilding the edges falls under the same reasoning). Many of the children's books I had as a child were gilded or stained on the edges (children's books not being like the children's books of today, mine were thick old books with B&W woodcut illustrations [if there were any illustrations at all], such a Grimm's Fairy Tales, Through the Looking Glass, etc.). — al-Shimoni  (talk) 00:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

'Scritta paper?'
As far as I can tell this wikipedia page and derivatives of it are the only places that term has ever appeared in English. Most of the 350 hits for it on google are coincidences from Italian sentences ending in 'scritta' and starting with an assignment to write an English paper. What's this word about? I don't know how to sign this thing I'm sorry I just saw the mystery 70.171.212.24 (talk) 23:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
