"وكان فريداً في صناعة التراكيب والتقاطير واستخراج المياه والأدهان"
Remarks
This technical expertise was associated with figures like Ibrahim al-Sakakini and Sheikh Muhammad al-Zabdani, who were part of the scholarly and artisanal circle of Hassan al-Jabarti (p. 622). The mention of distillation (Taqatir) suggests the production of highly refined essences or chemical colorants. The use of oils (Adhan) indicates the presence of binding media necessary for ink stability and pigment suspension.
