Illuminated Manuscript Koran, Walters Art Museum Ms. W.552, 41a

This horizontal-format manuscript on parchment is an illuminated fragment of the Qur'an, covering chapter 6 (SÅ«rat al-anÊ¿Äm), the end of verse 54, through chapter 9 (SÅ«rat al-tawbah), verse 79. The fragment probably dates to the third century AH / ninth CE. The text is written in an Early Abbasid (Kufic) script in dark brown ink and vocalized with red dots. Chapter headings are in gold ink, and verse markers in the shape of a stylized letter hÄ' and rosettes with colored dots indicate groups of five and ten verses. The green goatskin binding with gold-painted central floral design and cornerpieces is thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE or later.
