Evidence
"The suggestion that the bifolio could once have been part of this codex was made on the basis of material analysis"
Remarks
This ink is used in a monumental Qur’an bifolio measuring 74 x 95 cm. The text reproduces surat al-Falaq (Qur. 113) and surat al-Nas (Qur. 114) (p. 54). The script is notable for its visual prominence and terminal position in the Holy Book, intended to convey the ethical and social commitment of Mamluk patrons (p. 54).
