The earliest examples of Turkish paper marbling, called ''ebru'' in Turkish, are said to be a copy of the ''Hâlnâme'' by the poet Arifî. The text of this manuscript was rendered in a delicate cut paper découpage calligraphy by Mehmed bin Gazanfer and completed in 1540, and features many marbled and decorative paper borders. One early master by the pseudonym of ''Şebek'' is mentioned posthumously in the earliest Ottoman text on the art known as the ''Tertib-i Risâle-i Ebrî'', which is dated based on internal evidence to after 1615. The instructions for several ''ebru'' techniques in the text are accredited to this master. Another famous 18th-century master by the name of Hatip Mehmed Efendi (died 1773) is accredited with developing motifs and perhaps early floral designs, although evidence from India appears to contradict some of these reports. Despite this, marbled motifs are commonly referred to as ''hatip'' designs in Turkey today.
