Remarks
The paper described in the 'printed manuscript' tradition of Kano, Nigeria represents a hybrid medium where mass-printing technology (deployed since the late 1950s) is used to distribute traditional Islamic texts (p. 352). These printed manuscripts are contrasted with 'computer-based typewritten works' and remain a dominant form in some sub-Saharan African Muslim societies (p. 352). Visual evidence of the paper type and layout is provided in Figure 2 (p. 355), showing the cover of a work printed by the Northern Maktabat Printing Press, and Figure 3 (p. 356), showing a printed colophon.
