"Lewis palimpsest written on parchment containing some leaves of an ancient Qur’an text (Or.1287). ... The text itself continues to be studied and deciphered by scholars, most recently from images taken with variant spectroscopy and under improved lighting conditions in order to research the lower layer of text."

The palimpsest (Or.1287) features multiple layers including Christian homilies in Arabic (9th/10th c.), Syriac text, and Greek Septuagint. The lower layer contains 44 leaves of early Arabic Qur'anic script (p. 8).
