Evidence
"The main script of both manuscripts, copied by the same scribe, is a neat but unremarkable naskh, written in black ink (see figs 199 and 202)."
Remarks
The ink is associated with the scribe Raḥmatullāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muqarrab. The script is described as 'unremarkable' but 'neat' (p. 187). Some titles on content pages are also written in black thuluth alongside gold and red (p. 187).
