Evidence

"the paper employed – the Islamic type with chain lines grouped in threes, produced and used mostly in Egypt and the Mediterranean Middle East – was rarely used after 1550."

Remarks

The manuscript consists of several codicological units dating from the 11th to 16th centuries. The youngest unit at the beginning was likely copied around the end of the 16th century based on the paper type, which features chain lines grouped in threes (p. 13).
