6. The following breakdown was obtained from Saad (1983: 70): The Islamic sciences which lie at the core of the Islamic educational process throughout pan-Islamia can be divided into two categories. The first (and most important) consists of four branches of closely related subject matter, though of varying sources: Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir), traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (hadith), jurisprudence (fiqh) and the sources of law (usul). These four branches share a preoccupation with the governance of society and the conduct of individuals along ideal Muslim lines; and range from ethical standards and direct prescriptions to legal principles and precise laws. The second category of Islamic sciences includes: the fields of grammar (nahw), literary style and rhetoric (balagha), logic (mantiq) and doctrinal theology (tawhid). Of these, only grammar was considered to form an essential part of a scholar's education. The remainder (as well as astronomy, history mathematics and medicine) may be included to further refine the scholar's leaned capabilities or to earn him a greater versatility in juristic deductions and in Islamic doctrine. See Berkey (1992), Makki Sabai (1987) and Robinson (2003) for more information regarding Islamic scholarship.

13. Today, a ream has 500 sheets. Originally a ream contained some 480 sheets, or enough to make up 20 quires (that is, booklets of 24 pages each). The modern English word "ream" derived in the first instance from the Arabic rizma, meaning "bale or bundle". From the Arabic word rizma derived the Spanish resma (risma in Italian, ries in German, ris in Danish) and eventually the Old French rayme (Al-Hassan & Hill 1992: 192; Bloom 2001: 9; Loveday 2001: 53).

16. In Tlemcen (now in western Algeria) a noted jurisconsult Abu Abdallah ibn Marzuq delivered a long fatwa (that is, a legal decision) on 21 August 1409. It was titled Tarqir al-dalil al-wadih al-malum ala jawaz al-naskh fi kaghid al-rum (or, Decision ...concerning the permissibility of writing on paper made by Christians). Bloom (2001: 87) writes that this historical document is indicative of the fact that Italian paper had now entirely supplanted local production by the beginning of the fifteenth century: according to the document paper had once been made in Tlemcen, Fez (Morocco) and other Muslim regions of Spain, but now no longer was. Pious Muslims were thus forced to write on European paper containing watermarks they found offensive as they included representations of European Christian iconography such as crosses, or that of living beings. Ibn-Mazuq's decision framed the problem in terms of ritual purity and subsequently argued that writing in Arabic over the idolatrous designs rendered them invisible. Therefore, in writing God's name (and message) on such papers, replaced falsehood with truth - a situation he held to be analogous to the transforming a Christian church into a mosque.
