DescriptionKufi script (New Style III) - Qur'anic verses.jpg |
English: This calligraphic fragment includes, on the left hand side of the bifolio, the illuminated title and verses 1-6 of the 69th chapter of the Qur'an entitled al-Haqqah (The Truth). The text is written in Kufi (New Syle III). Red dots indicate vocalization, while vowel signs and orthoepics (pronunciation marks) were added in black ink at a later date. One dot below the letter ra (r) serves to differentiate it from the zayn (z). The script, vocalization marks, and vertical format show some of the advances in Kufi calligraphy and Qur'an production during the 10th century. |
