"Fig. 16: A page of a Qur’an with names of God in red ink... in the handwriting of Abbas Musa Rijiyar Lemo; publ. Kano: Muḥyī al-Dīn b. ‘Abdallāh Yassār, 2008."
Remarks
The ink is used in a specific hierarchy of sacred text decoration where the names of God are highlighted in red (p. 333). This is part of a modern 'printed manuscript' tradition in Kano where local calligraphic styles are reproduced using offset lithography (p. 338).
