History

See also: History of paper

Historical investigations into the origin of the paper mill are complicated by differing definitions and loose terminology from modern authors. Many scholars use the term to refer to all kinds of mills, whether powered by humans, by animals or by water. However, the propensity of these authors to refer indiscriminately to any ancient paper manufacturing centre as a "mill", without further specifying its exact power drive, has increased the difficulty of identifying the particularly efficient water-powered type.
