Evidence
"The manuscript might have been written during his lifetime since the paper is watermarked with the date ‘1822’."
Remarks
The watermark analysis of MS EAP 1042/1/1 provides a definitive temporal anchor, allowing the researcher to conclude that the manuscript was potentially written during the lifetime of al-Hajj Kassama (d. 1824/29/36) (p. 147). The author contrasts this with other manuscripts where contemporaneity between the scribe and teacher cannot be confirmed by material evidence alone (p. 154).
