Original Recipe Text
The paper is a European product identified by the Pro Patria watermark, which depicts a 'Maid of Dort'. The paper was imported into the Indonesian archipelago (Nusantara) as part of the 17th to 19th-century trade (p. 25). This specific watermark style is documented in Churchill's (1965) catalog of Dutch and European papers (p. 21).
Evidence
"Pro Patria Maid of Dort watermark on the Quran, (b) illustration of Pro Patria Maid of Dort in the Churchill watermark catalog"
Remarks
The Pro Patria Maid of Dort watermark was identified in the Quran manuscript. This watermark is traditionally compared to the Churchill (1965) catalog for authentication (p. 21). Its presence contributes to the conclusion that the manuscript was produced significantly later than the local oral tradition suggests (p. 25). The use of European paper in Indonesian Quranic manuscripts is a known historical phenomenon tied to maritime trade (p. 24).
