How did Dante write the comedy?

What kind of paper did he used?

Had he enough material to make sketches and scribble lines of verse that he might not end up using?

Where there some form of rhyme dictionaries already in that time?

How long it took him to write?

Is there any report of his routine (what time he rise, how many hours he read, what he read, where he sit down to write)?
