History

Answer: Papyrus

Explanation:

This is a very simplified version, But the Egyptians made a thick paper called papyrus, from the papyrus plant. They cut the stems of the plant into thin strips, and laid it atop one another at right angles into multiple layers. They wettened the papyrus sheet and then beat it flat while it is still moist.

The Ancient Egyptians did not make paper, indeed paper which was invented in China did not reach the Middle East until after the battle of Tallas in 751ce. The Arabs then moved the captured Chinese papermakers to Samarkand, then the idea spread to Baghdad where Arabic papermaking started, and it is this product- charta Damasura- sold to the west that monks mistook for a new type of papyrus, and called it paper.

Arabic paper making did occur in Egypt, but by this time it had spread to other parts of the Islamic world including Xavier in Spain (1160) and Fabriano in Italy (1180) which were captured by the Christians. Egyptian paper was made from old linen rags, sealed with boiled-up bone glue and occasionally from recycled mummies. It's darker and thicker than the fine Syrian papers or the exquisite Persian tissue-thin polished paper, but not as rough as some of the later Turkish papers. Because the paper was polished with a fine gum arabic coating or gum taragarth, it is easy to repair, as delicate sheets from manuscripts can be split down the middle and gossamer-thin Japanese repair tissue inserted inside to invisibility re-attach the leaf to a binding. The largest problem is storage conditions in the Middle East where many more species of anorexia (carpet beetles) are active and fond of consuming this material, and the unfortunate use of an unstable copper underpainting in gold illumination within some Arabic works.

the finest collection of papers was a set of recycled papers not destroyed by Jewish scribes in Cairo because the paper had the name god written on it. The Khalidi Library in the old city of Jerusalem has 1500 paper manuscripts, with about 400 on Egyptian paper. They also have the oldest wire mark (watermark) paper I have ever discovered, a 10-century Charta Gamasutra CD used for a stunning manuscript about botany in the Golan Heights.

Write a two to three-paragraph response discussing whether you think the patent system is useful and beneficial Why do you think
Liula [17]

Answer:

The patent system is an important and good concept. With it, many people are prevented from getting stolen from or stealing others' ideas. While this can be very good, and promote further discovery and prevent theft. It is also quite controversial and comes with drawbacks.  

Drawbacks include the costs, time it takes, and the enforcement. Getting a patent may take years and only works in the areas that you get it in. It can also be quite costly, with many fees, including maintenance fees, reissue fees, and more. Often times, patented inventions often generate less revenue than the cost it takes to actually patent it. In addition to this, it can be quite the hassle to enforce, as it can be very time consuming and costly to monitor, track down, and bring any wrong doers to justice for infringement.
