Abstract

[The paper describes the industry of the papermaking in the vicinity of the Benedictine Abbey in Montecassino (Italy). The focus is mainly on the factories that were supplied by hydraulic energy that was available in that area. The historical analysis of the papermakers in the area begins with a factory that was established in the town of Sant’Elia Fiumerapido by abbey monks in 1516. The plant was chosen because it was provided with a water mill that made the Abbey’s extensive ‘scriptorium’ independent of outside sources for the provision of suitable paper. Drawings of past plants at different scales have permitted us to analyze the historical and technical evolution of the papermaking in the specific area under the influence and supervision of the Montecassino Abbey. A specific analysis is carried out on the development of machines by observing their structure and operation, in conjunction with calling attention to recovering of the past needs for papermakers through the remains of their machinery.]
