Definition
A type of parchment or vellum made from animal skin, often used for writing or bookbinding in medieval times.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin forella, possibly derived from ferrum (iron) or from an animal name. The exact origin is uncertain, but it refers to a specific grade of writing material.
Kelly Says
Forel was expensive medieval parchment that only the wealthiest monasteries could afford—scribes had to be careful not to make mistakes because erasing and rewriting wasted precious material.
