- Title
- Illuminated opening from a Qur'an.
- Description
-
This Qur'an is one of the great treasures of the Chester Beatty
Library. It is important on a number of counts, but especially as it is
a rare example of the work of Ibn al-Bawwab (d. 1022), one of three
great medieval masters of Islamic calligraphy. Ibn al-Bawwab is
especially esteemed as a master of naskh script, although the script he
has used in this Qur'an is considered by many to be a naskh-rayhan
variant, rather than pure naskh. Nevertheless, this Qur'an is thought
to be the earliest existing example of a Qur'an written in a cursive
script. It is also important as an early example of a Qur'an copied in
a vertical format on paper.Created circa 1000 AD, 391 AH (Hijri year).
