Dard Hunter in Papermaking through Eighteen Centuries corroborates this by writing, “ The Chinese used starch as a size for paper as early as A. D. 768 and its use continued until the fourteenth century when animal glue was substituted .” In the early modern paper mills in Europe, which produced paper for printing and other uses, the sizing agent of choice was gelatin, as Susan Swartzburg writes in Preserving Library Materials: “ Various substances have been used for sizing through the ages, from gypsum to animal gelatin .” Hunter describes the process of sizing in these paper mills in the following:
