Original Recipe Text
While the specific manufacturing recipe is not detailed, the paper is described as 'marbled paper' (ebru) used specifically for pastedowns on the inner boards of a leather-bound Qur'an (p. 165).
Evidence
"The Qur’an copy in Ali Dede’s collection is illuminated and has a leather cover with marbled paper pastedowns on it (see MS 6)."
Remarks
The presence of marbled paper pastedowns on a 19th-century Qur'an suggests that while the text might have been copied locally, the binding materials or the techniques used for finishing the manuscript reflect broader Ottoman bookbinding traditions (p. 165). The author notes that such illumination and binding might have been commissioned from outside the village (p. 165).
