Notlar
Juz' 9 and 10 of the Khayqani Qur'an. The Khayqani Qur'an is an important early example of the Arabic script known as "New Style" (also called eastern kufic), which developed gradually in Qur'anic calligraphy away from the more angular kufic script. This multi-volume Qur'an has been dated to c. 900 because of a note added to Juz' 19: on the final page is a statement in Persian, signed by someone called Ahmad ibn Abi'l-Qasim al-Khayqani. He notes that he has checked the text and made corrections, signing and dating his comment to the month of Sha`ban 292H (June 905). There have been doubts about the authenticity of this extra note, but not about the manuscript itself. Codex, ink, colours and gold on parchment, 48 folios, Arabic text in New Style III (aka eastern kufic) script, illuminated verse-markers, illuminated band with palmette hasp ornament in margin (fols. 1v-2r), Juz' 9 and 10 of the Qur'an (7:88 to 9:93), from a thirty-volume set, of which Juz' 19 (CB Is 1417D) has a note signed al-Khayqani and dated 292H (June 905), probably Iran, c. 900.
