Evidence

"The main paper is a yellow-cream colour and, although smooth, does not appear to be burnished and contains several visible inclusions. No chain or laid lines are visible and the paper is gathered mainly into quaternions."

Remarks

The manuscript (1278 Qur'an) is small (105mm x 80mm), suggesting personal use. Unlike the Masnavī, the paper does not show chain or laid lines and includes visible impurities/inclusions (p. 74).
