Recipe Details
Evidence
"At least a dozen publishers in Kano continue to market offset lithographic editions of the Qur’an, compared to only five in the 1960s and none before the 1950s."
Remarks
The shift to offset lithography in Nigeria represents a technological change controlled by scribes and book traders to create a hybrid aesthetic (p. 315). This market flourished because the distinctive Central Sudanic Arabic script used locally limited the marketability of imported typeset books from the Middle East (p. 315).
