Catalogue Note

L'utilisation de points rouges marquant les vocalisations est un aspect particulièrement intéressant de cette page. Courants sur les manuscrits coufiques, ces points avaient pratiquemment disparu du coufique de l'Est, en faveur des tirets utilisés pour les kasra, fatha et damma, encore usités aujourd'hui. Pour trois autres pages provenant probablement du même Coran, voir Sotheby's Londres, 15 octobre 1998, n°9 ; 09 juillet 1979, n°3 ; 12 octobre 2000, n°37.
