Qurʼan in Mamluk naskh script.
Qurʼan in Mamluk naskh script.
A medium-size volume representing a portion of the Qurʾan(Chapter 18, v.72 - Chapter 20, i.e., sūrat al-Kahf - Ṭāʾ-hāʾ). Written on thick Arab paper in a heavy Mamluk naskh script, it is fully vocalized. The letter alif in this hand has no head-serif and its shaft tapers towards its lower end, looking almost like a wedge.
It also has a distinct lām alif ligature with its triangular base. The
manuscript was originally housed in the Khānqāh al-Barqūqīyah in Cairo.
