wood content, lignin

Evidence

"This manuscript page is unambiguously a European paper, industrially produced around 1900, because that is when wood-content paper first gained wide distribution."

Remarks

The paper pulp was beaten with a Hollander beater. The paper contains high acid content (lignin), which reacted with the acid in the iron-gall ink leading to ink corrosion and halos (p. 34). It lacks surface treatments like gluing or polishing often found in Arabic papers (p. 35).
