Remarks

The document highlights that during this period, the choice of paper was not arbitrary but dependent on the script's requirements for precision and ink absorption. It specifically mentions the terminology used for various papers known in the early Islamic period (p. 84). It also touches upon the problems of application, such as the avoidance of ink dots (nuqat) and vocalization marks (shakl) in certain professional contexts (p. 83).
