The History of Pen
The History of Pen
Ancient Indians were the first to use
the pen. According to ancient text the earliest of pens made in India used bird
feathers, bamboo sticks, etc. The old literature of puranas, Ramayana and
Mahabharta used this kind of pen roughly 500 BC. Ancient Egyptians had developed
writing on papyrus scrolls when scribes used thin reed brushes or reed pens
from the Juncus maritimus or sea
rush. In his book A History of Writing, Steven
Roger Fischer suggests that in the basis of finds at Saqqara, the reed pen
might well have been used for writing on parchment as long ago as the first
Dynasty or about 3000 BC. Pens continued to be used until the middle Ages
although they were slowly replaced by quills from about 7th century.
The reed pen, generally made from bamboo, is still used in some parts of Pakistan
by young students and is used to write on small boards made of timber.
