Single Folio from a Qur'an

The folio is from a dispersed manuscript, which must have been one of the finest North African Qur'ans of the 13th and 14th centuries and was very probably a royal commission in Morocco, or even in Nasrid Granada. Its fine script is written in gold with black outlines, with handsome verse markers and even more elaborate marginal roundels indicating each five and ten verses. Differences in the script of the surviving pages suggest that the Qur'an may have been the work of two or more scribes.
