My best guess is that you are looking for this word:
palimpsest
a manuscript which has been re-used by scraping off the original text
and writing over the top
medievalwriting.50megs.com/glossary2.htm
A manuscript on which an earlier text has been effaced and the vellum
or parchment reused for another. It was a common practice, particularly
in medieval ecclesiastical circles, to rub out an earlier piece of
writing by means of washing or scraping the manuscript, in order to
prepare it for a new text.

>From the Greek palimpsestos ("scraped again"), a palimpsest is reused
writing support material from which theunderlying text has been erased
(by washing in the case of papyrus and by using scraping devices in the
case of parchment). Erasure was not always complete and an underlying
text can often be read with the assistance of ultraviolet light.
