Recipe Details
Evidence
"Detail of a page from a parchment leaf of a Qurʾan, probably 8/14th century or earlier (RBD AC183)"
Remarks
Parchment survived as a writing support for a longer period in the Maghreb compared to the Islamic East (p. 155). This sample features Maghribi script, which is characterized by the use of a calamus with a rounded nib, resulting in penstrokes of consistent thickness (p. 148).
