Description |
English: Page from the Ma’il Qur’an. The text is penned on parchment in an early style of Arabic script called ma'il, one of a number of early Arabic scripts collectively named 'Hijazi' after the region in which they were developed. The word ma'il itself means 'sloping', in this case to the right. It is also notable for its lack of diacritical marks, the spelling symbols that distinguish between letters of similar shape. The end of each verse is indicated by six small dashes in two stacks of three. Chapter 26, al-Shu‘ara’ (The Poets), verse 183 to 210. Hijaz, 8th century.
