Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

The red ink is used for Persian translation and commentary, embedded in smaller script between the primary Arabic verses (p. 59).

Evidence

"The manuscript has, in taliq script, a Persian translation in smaller, red text embedded in-between the larger Arabic Qur’anic verses, along with Persian commentary in the margins."

Remarks

The use of red text indicates intra-textual commentary and serves to visually break up the page layout (p. 59). This historical example shows how spatial incrementalization and color were used to organize complex religious texts (p. 59).
