الورق المنتج في المصانع الأوروبية

Evidence

"أما المخطوطات المتأخرة نسبيًا أي فيما يعود للقرن الثاني عشر والثالث عشر الهجريين، وخاصة الورق المنتج في المصانع الأوروبية، فإن عملية وضع المَسْطَرَة محسومة الأمر، وهو أن المصانع تضعها على ورقها بشكل شبه خفي"

Remarks

The paper used in Najdi manuscripts from the 12th and 13th centuries AH (18th–19th centuries AD) was frequently sourced from European factories (p. 366). This paper often featured semi-hidden ruling lines created during the manufacturing process, though scribes sometimes added their own ruling using a 'Mastara' device (p. 366). The size and number of lines on these papers varied, with some large sheets containing up to 51 lines, while smaller ones had as few as 5 to 9 lines (p. 368).
