Thad (or Thaddeus) Davids, a little known yet significant figure in the historical examination of writing fluids, made his intellectual mark with the publication of 'The History of Ink, Including Its Etymology, Chemistry, and Bibliography'. This work, which delves into the origins, chemical composition, and the literary impact of ink, suggests that Davids was not solely an author but also a keen researcher with interests in etymology and chemistry.
