Sample Text	This illuminated small codex contains a famous poem in honor of the Prophet Muhammad popularly known as "Qaṣīdat al-Burdah" (The poem of the mantle), which was composed by Sharaf al-Dīn Muḥammad al-Būṣīrī (died 694 AH [1294 CE]). This copy was executed in a variety of scripts, probably in Iran, by Ḥabīb Allāh ibn Dūst Muḥammad al-Khwārizmī in the 11th century AH (17th century CE). The first page (folio 1b) of the manuscript features an illuminated rectangular headpiece with five inner panels of text executed in the following scripts: muhaqqaq (gold), naskh (black), thuluth (blue), naskh (black), and muhaqqaq (gold). Muhaqqaq, naskh, and thuluth are three of the six scripts collectively known as the Six Pens. Perfected between the 10th and 13th centuries, the Six Pens are the classical script styles that influenced later generations of calligraphers, up to the present day. The final illuminated page (folio 23a) in the codex contains the colophon, which gives the name of the scribe as Ḥabīb Allāh ibn Dūst Muḥammad. The colophon is written in riqa script, defined by fluid lines. Riqa was commonly used for chancellery documents and for colophons.
