Contadini (ed.), Objects of Instruction : Treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007, p.76, no.57., Folios 261v-262r of MS 1493 - The earliest extant Qur’ān written in the Bihārī script, a variation of naskh, is dated 801 AH (1399 CE), and was produced in Gwalior in Central India. The script evolved through the course of the fifteenth century, developing its distinctive elongated horizontal strokes. The SOAS Qur’ān contains three double-page openings illuminated with bold abstract floral designs. In the centre of the side margins are semi-circular protuberances, or ansae, flanked by medallions. The borders of the illuminated panels are edged with lotus leaves. The layout of these pages recalls the Gwalior Qur’ān, albeit in a less refined and more robust manner. This Qur’ān was produced in one of the Sultanate States in Northern India, possibly Delhi or Jaunpur (Text by Emily Shovelton, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) ( en )
