Original Recipe Text
Ninety-five large-sized sheets of paper (Navad-u-panj ṭabaq-i kāghid-i qaṭʿ-i buzurg) were specially ordered and brought from Damascus to Anatolia (Erzincan) for the purpose of copying the 'spiritual Masnavī' (p. 365).
Evidence
"The weak servant Sātī son of Ḥasan the Mawlawi had the paper for this book of secrets and mystical meanings brought specially from Damascus... Ninety-five large-sized sheets of paper for the purpose of copying the spiritual Mas̲navī"
Remarks
The note by Sātī son of Ḥasan the Mawlawi details the specific provenance of the paper, emphasizing that it was brought 'specially from Damascus' (az Dimashq dāda-ast qaṣdan āvard). This highlights the luxury and status associated with Syrian paper in 15th-century Anatolian manuscript production. The quantity is explicitly stated as 95 sheets (p. 365).
