The ancient Greeks used as a support for their writings wooden frames on which they poured liquid wax. When solidifying, it formed a flat surface capable of being engraved by means of a punch. These tablets were called 'tabulas', and when they had not yet been used they were 'tabula rasa', blank sheets.
