Notes:
A leaf from a Koran Manuscript in Cufic characters. This leaf is thought to be from 12th century; though it isn't dated. The style of the calligraphy suggests it could be from Mashad (Persia), although its origins could be in Arabia or Egypt. A few leaves from this manuscript are in Boston, in the Oriental Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts.
