Description

Paper making process invented in China travelled westward. It arrived at the Central Asia in the fifth century and Iraq in the ninth century. Then, it spread to Syria, to Egypt, through the North Africa, and to Spain at the eleventh century. Along the way, it competed with parchment that was durable but costly and papyrus that had a long history as a writing media. As culture there asked that sheet should be written with pen, not with brush, paper was modified to satisfy that need, and increased share. In the fifteenth century, paper supported the fully-matured Islamic culture of which center was Iran. Their paper consisted of well beaten linen rag, and was coated with chalk and starch, to make its surface good for scribing by pen. Then, imported paper from Europe which was cheap prevailed in the market, and the Islamic paper industry became extinct.
