Although it is unclear how papyri were produced, it is known that only the peeled stemswere used in their manufacture (Basile, 1977; Franceschi et al., 2004). Non-destructive physical analysis ofthe surface of papyri commonly returns different results from one area of a sheet to another. The presentwork examines C. papyrus stems and papyri by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in orderto determine their histological structure and gain insight into their gross biochemical composition PB Universität zu Köln SN 0084-5388 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/20092 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/20092 NO Álvarez Nogal, R., Brasas Alonso, M., González Sierra, S., and Nodar Domínguez, A.
