Summary
| Description |
English: This sixteenth-century Koran was "executed in the Mosque of the Al-Badi Palace in Marrakech, and finished on the 13th day of the month of Rab'ia in the year 1008 after the Hegira [2nd November 1599], during the reign of Sultan Al-Mansur, father of Muley Zaydan" (from Folio 264). Written on paper, it was transported to Spain after the victory of Pedro de Para in the Barbary Sea in 1611. Richly decorated throughout, it is an outstanding example of mabsut style, with vocalization in red, tasdid and sukuns in blue. The titles of the suras are written in gold Kufic script on a blue ground. |
