Evidence
"The paper was always European in origin."
Remarks
Manuscript books were imported from the Middle East and North Africa from the 10-11th to 19th centuries, but the paper used for copying in Northern Nigeria was consistently European (p. 2-3). The manuscripts are typically loose folios stored in leather wrappers (p. 2).
