O obrazu

Qur’an Manuscript Folio, a page of the thirteenth or fourteenth century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. It contains verses 59–61 from the chapter of Light, written in Maghribi Kufic, a script used in Islamic Spain and North Africa. Letters curl toward the left margin in nearly semicircular endings, contrasting with upright strokes. Red vowel signs and blue diacritical marks guide pronunciation. These coloured aids served a text intended to be read or recited aloud before a gathered audience.

Slovy muzea

This page from the “Chapter of Light” (24:59–61) in the Qur'an is written in the monumental script of Islamic Spain and North Africa, known as Maghribi Kufic. Words flow rhythmically with curving flourishes toward the left margin where letters end in almost perfect semicircles, an elegant hallmark that contrasts with the upright shafts. Distinctive markings—vowels in red and diacritics in blue—identify the vocalization of the text, which would have been read or recited aloud to an assembly.
