Remarks

The text describes the role of Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Adhayb (d. 1161 AH) in the 18th-century Najdi manuscript tradition. He is credited with diligently working to provide paper (al-waraq) for his students, highlighting that despite financial difficulties, he ensured the availability of writing materials to facilitate the copying of books. This suggests that paper was a valued and potentially scarce commodity that required active effort from scholarly patrons to secure for their circles (p. 225).
