"وكتب الخط العثماني"

Remarks

The text mentions the practice of writing in the 'Ottoman script' (al-khatt al-utfamani) in the context of architectural inscriptions or scholarly manuscript production during the renovation of the Fakiha mosque (p. 548). While the chemical nature of the ink is not detailed, the calligraphic tradition and the presence of 'notable calligraphers' (a'yan al-kuttab min al-khattatin, p. 556) highlight the active scribal culture in Cairo during the 1700s.
