Remarks

The manuscript EAP 1042/1/1 contains a scribal note stating it was written on 'thirty-eight sheets of paper' (fī thamāniya wa thalāthīn qirṭāsān). The sheets measure 18×22 cm in quarto format (p. 51-52). The author notes that scribes often cut large-format imported paper to prepare smaller bifolios (p. 52).
