Recipe Details
Evidence
"The manuscript is written on parchment, though there are many (later) examples where gold leaf was used for writing on paper."
Remarks
Islamic manuscripts from the 12th century onwards typically use paper, but the prestigious Blue Qur'an is on parchment. Burnishing gold on paper requires care as fibres cannot withstand high pressure (p. 273).
