This single parchment leaf originated from a manuscript copy of the Qur’an dating to around the year 850 CE and is an exquisite example of the early Arabic script known as Kufic. The bookseller notes tell us that the text is from the middle part of verse 109 of the second Quran sura.
Purchase; Fisher Library Rare Books and Special Collections copy acquired with the bequest fund of E. & T. Edwards.
