This work is a highly valuable academic contribution on the origin and the implantation factors of paper mills, the characteristics of their specific architecture and their creators, the organization and distribution of spaces, and the function of each within a complete and complex production process. As the author states in the introduction, paraphrasing Gombrich, the ultimate purpose of this book is none other than to shed light on the industrial past of a specific manufacture in a particular context: the paper-producing region of Capellades.The Papermaking Vocabulary is a selection of the rich and extensive
terminology of papermaking, a work compiling more than six hundred terms
connected with craft paper production. Many of them would by now have
been forgotten forever, had they not been painstakingly collated by
Oriol Valls i Subirà. This book thus represents a valuable document for
the history of paper in Catalonia.
