it would depend on where you lived, and what were your monetary means. of course, assuming that you knew how to read and write, you had several choices: -Some tree barks
-Papyrus (made from fiber of an aquatic plant, in Egypt)
-Stone (by carving)
-Wax tablet and stylus (you would carve the wax with a pointy end, and you could even erase with the flat end at the other side)
-Vellum (which is the almost transparent skin of veal, very flexible and durable)
-Plant made paper

∙ 12y agoIn the Middle Ages in Europe, most people could neither read nor write.
No, most people in the middle ages were "peasants" or "serfs" who worked under feudal "Lords of the Manor" who protected them while they tilled the soil to grow crops and raised sheep and goats for meat and milk. The people that knew how to read and write at that time were scholars - mainly belonged to the "church" - monks, and bishops and the like.
