Koran, Walters Art Museum MS. W.568
Mar 24, 2016
This square-format manuscript is a fragment of the Qur'an, consisting of chapters 19 (Sūrat Maryam) through 23 (Sūrat al-muʾminūn). It was produced in the Maghreb and dates to the twelfth century AH / eighteenth CE. The text is written in a large Maghribī script, with vocalization in red, green, and yellow ink on Italian paper. The codex opens with an illuminated chapter heading for chapter 19 (Sūrat Maryam) written in the New Abbasid (broken cursive) style (fol. 1b) in gold ink within a decorative headpiece. The titles of other chapters are written in the New Abbasid (broken cursive) style in gold ink (fols. 21a, 47b, 70a, and 102a) with a marginal medallion. The blind-tooled goatskin binding is not contemporary with the manuscript and probably dates to the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE.
