Citations | |
Inv. Id | O.I. 6988 |
Support/Dimensions | Parchment ; 17.5 x 15.0 cm |
Condition | Fine parchment, the length of which is intact, except perhaps for the loss of some of the lower margin. A considerable part of the width is lost, the original size being approximately 20-22 cm. What remains is in fair condition except for one large lacuna. |
Lines | On recto and verso: 12 lines each in Arabic |
Recto/Verso | Source of description: On recto and verso: Qur'an |
Hands | Small, but graceful Meccan script with comparatively long vertical strokes. The ink must have been originally a light or medium brown because the recto is so faded that it looks blank and can be read only with great difficulty. The verso shows a light and a dark shade of brown. Vowel points are wanting, but diacritical strokes are freely used. There is a note written in red in the margin of verso 2; it is in a different and later hand. |
Origin | Unknown |
Language | Arabic |
Date | Ist-IInd century A.H. |
Note (general) | Each new surah begins on a new line with no extra spacing and the initial formula receives no more attention than the text proper that follows in the same line. A small circle marks the end of a verse. |
