Books Made from Tree Leaves: Palm Leaf Manuscripts

Palm leaf manuscripts were the dominant medium for writing across South and Southeast Asia for over two millennia, long before paper entered the scene. These documents contain everything from religious law codes to administrative records, preserved on brittle strips of palm through strict copying traditions. This video breaks down their historical use, material science, and the challenges of modern preservation, including ethical tensions between traditional custodians and Western institutions.
