Evidence
"The text is written in black ink, except the word Allah and the beginnings of each part (Juz’) that are written in red across the entire manuscript. The vocalisation is in black and recitation marks are in red."
Remarks
The script of MS-QUR002 resembles the Bihari Qur'ans of India due to angular letterforms and horizontal vowel signs (p. 43).
