Recipe Details

Evidence

"The Leeds Qur’an (see Figure 5.1), for example, uses three different types of paper."

Remarks

The imported paper in West African manuscripts was often cut from larger sheets, with various kinds combined in the same manuscript (p. 70). The expense of materials forced scribes to use every available surface, resulting in layouts that did not leave many blank areas (p. 70).
