A
quill is a pen made from a feather
? from a large
bird. Quills were used as instruments of
writing with
ink before artificial pen
?s came into use. The hollow interior of the quill was used to house the ink whilst writing, and the [cappilary force]
? saw to it that all of the ink did not run out of quill at once. Common writing equipment in medieval times were the quill and
parchment.
