Afountain pen is a pen that contains a reservoir of water-based liquid ink and should not be confused with the more ancient device, the quill pen that was dipped into a container of ink frequently while writing. The earliest mentions of fountain pens go back hundreds of years; one of the earliest citations found to date is from the the 10th century. The caliph of Eygypt Ma'ad al-Mu'izz wanted a pen that could hold ink inside it and would not leak it. Accordingly, a few days later a pen was made by the craftsmen that held ink in a reservoir and the ink was delivered to the nib due to gravity and capillary action and did not leak ink. The earliest surviving fountain pens date to the early 18th (or possibly later 17th) century; they are made of metal, and most used cut quills as nibs, although gold-nibbed examples are also known. These are often called "Bion" pens, after the French royal instrument maker Nicolas Bion (1652-1733) who described them in a treatise first published in 1709. Bion made no claim to be their inventor, nor is there any evidence that he ever made such pens himself -- let alone, held a patent on them.
