Folio from a Qur'an Manuscript

Not on view

This Qur’an folio, which is one of a group of ten, is written in muhaqqaq script. Each folio has seven lines with interlinear Persian translation in naskhi script. The verses 102-110 belong to Surah Kahf (The Dwellers of the Cave, Chapter 18).

Folios 1979.295.8-.10 are slightly different from the rest of the seven folios due to the color of the paper and the ink. Some diacritical marks and verse ending marks are missing. Verse ending marks are comprised of three dots in red. The paper is of different quality and the ink is of black whereas folios 1979.295.1-.7 of the same group are penned in brown ink.
