Description
English: The script he has used in this Qur'an is considered by many to be a naskh-rayhan variant, rather than pure naskh. This Qur'an is thought to be the earliest existing example of a Qur'an written in a cursive script. It is also important as an early example of a Qur'an copied in a vertical format on paper. Same as File:Ibn al-Bawwab - Qur'anic Manuscript.jpg.
