A name to attach to the origins of the manuscript

[Aga Tentakulus]

According to ETH, Basel was even the European leader with 12 paper mills before 1500.
I wouldn't have thought so either.

The first paper mills (mills) were established in the Geneva area (before 1400, on French territory) and Fribourg (before 1432) as well as in Basel (1433), followed by Worblaufen (before 1466), Zurich (1470-1472), Serrières (1477) and Baar (probably before 1500). In Basel, 12 paper mills were recorded before 1500, which were soon supplemented by mills owned by Basel outside the city. This led to the emergence of a production centre of European significance in Basel.

Die ersten Papiermühlen (You are not allowed to view links.

In Basel sind vor 1500 12 Papiermühlen zu verzeichnen, die bald durch ausserhalb der Stadt gelegene Betriebe in Basler Besitz ergänzt wurden. So entstand in Basel ein Produktionszentrum von europäischer Bedeutung.
