I'm not surprised that the vellum was preserved in the bog but I am surprised that the ink didn't react with the acids from the bog...or maybe the ink did react and just changed color or reacted with the vellum, rendering the text still readable.
Vellum is incredibly durable. I have several manuscripts on vellum and they are in much better condition than documents on paper that are hundreds of years younger. The ink usually has some fading depending on how much it is exposed to the air. Vellum documents that have been folded against themselves or other sheets of vellum are frequently as pristine as the day they were written because the vellum tends to seal out the elements.

It seems to be a word for word rendering of a pronouncement from Hezzbollah headquarters, doesn't it?

The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.Open the last page and tell us how it ends!

Yes - very intersting. Working on the meaning of some of the other city names. Of course we know: Phillistia is Palestine.
