Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

The text details the professional capacity of Abd al-Aziz bin Muhammad bin Mudayhish, who studied in Buraidah and India. His proficiency in 'beauty of line' (jamal al-khatt) and 'speed of copying' (sur'at al-naskh) allowed him to enter the profession of 'Warraqah' (stationery/copying industry) (p. 306).

Evidence

"تميز بجمال الخط وسرعة النسخ، مما أهله للعمل في مهنة الوراقة، وكان مشهورًا بالوعظ للبادية في أماكنها المعروفة في ذلك الوقت بالهجر"

Remarks

The scribes mentioned in this chapter, such as those from the Najd region (Buraidah, Sudair, Riyadh), were often religious students who supported themselves by copying manuscripts for a fee (p. 310). Their ink application was noted for its aesthetic quality and legibility (p. 308).
