Evidence
"تؤخذ طبقة من الورق الاعتيادي، ثم تصبغ بزلال البيض (بياض) وتترك حتى تجف وتثقل جيدا"
Remarks
The glazing of paper was a critical step in the manufacture of Tuati manuscripts. It prevented the ink from bleeding into the fibers and allowed the pen to glide smoothly. The paper mentions that such treated paper was preferred for scientific and royal manuscripts (p. 216).
