notebook of lined paper

Evidence

"The text is written in a notebook of lined paper. Notebooks have already been described as media for manuscripts in Ethiopia and Yemen"

Remarks

The manuscript IES 286 is written on a modern support described as a 'notebook of lined paper' (p. 56). Such notebooks are identified as common media for manuscript production in early 20th-century Ethiopia and Yemen (p. 56-57). The physical assembly consists of 28 folios (p. 59). The cover is constructed from 'rough cardboard' with two boards joined by a 'strip of cloth' and 'visible blue thread' (p. 59). The manuscript is noted as an 'incomplete version' because the quire block is not permanently fixed to the cover (p. 59).
