The invention of writing in ancient times is a literary beginning of the record archive for mankind. While the records in this archive were initially processed on elements such as stone, clay, wax and wood, in the later process they were processed on easy-to-write elements such as papyrus, parchment and paper. The substance used to write on them is ink. The functional properties of the ink such as long-term use, preservation of quality and no odor have been made possible by the use of inkwells. In this study, it is aimed to examine the inkwells made of terracotta, tile, metal and glass chronologically, to deal with their forms, to determine their place among writing and writing instruments and to deal with their historical development as a whole. |
