Evidence

"Almost all Jawi manuscripts use paper imported from China, India, Persia, and Europe. ... during that era, most of the Al-Quran manuscripts were produced by using European-made paper with watermarks from Italy and other continental European companies."

Remarks

The Malay world relied heavily on global trade for its writing surfaces. With the arrival of Europeans around the 16th century AD, the copyist activity expanded significantly, with a marked preference for high-quality Italian and continental European papers featuring distinct watermarks (p. 63).
