Summary

Artist
'Ali ibn Ja'far ibn Asad al-Katib
Description
English: Double page containing the Sura 5:82, opening to juz' 13, from a sixty-part Qur'an manuscript copied by 'Ali ibn Ja'far ibn Asad al-Katib (the secretary) for Nur al-din ibn Zangi and endowed to his madrasa in Damascus in 652/1166–7. Its script exemplifies the type of naskh used in Syria and the Jazira in the mid-twelfth century for a variety of texts and shows the increasingly standardization of naskh (after Sheila S. Blair, Islamic Calligraphy, 2008, p. 210). Dallas Museum of Arts K.1.2014.574.1 (former Keir Collection catalogue number VII.003)
