Seal skin has a unique structure making it stronger and more pliable and more waterproof compared to other leathers. The monks bought it for it’s high protective quality.

The reference to sealskin, and the seals native to Scotland and Scandanavia, is putting me in mind of
The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry [Wikipedia], the old Scottish ballad, adapted and covered by many, many recording artists in the 20th century. Here is a particularly beautiful rendition done more recently:
OLD CELTIC & NORDIC BALLADS : The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry
Joanne McIVER : Vocals
Aliocha REGNARD : Nyckelharpa
Jean-Luc LENOIR : Guitar, CelticHarp, Kravik Lyre, Dulcimer, Arrangement
