O obrazu
This anonymous Qur'an folio of the thirteenth or fourteenth century, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, carries verses 24:59–61 from the Chapter of Light. It uses Maghribi Kufic, a monumental style of writing used in North Africa and Islamic Spain. Curving flourishes flow towards the left margin, where letter endings approach semicircles, contrasting with upright strokes. Red vowel signs and blue diacritics guide the pronunciation of the words. These coloured marks supported the reading or recitation of the passage aloud before an assembly.
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.
