Saudi Arabia Exhibits 18th-Century Quran
The Museum of the Holy Qur'an in Mecca displayed a rare manuscript from the 12th century AH (18th century AD). It features Thuluth, Ruhanī, and Naskh scripts, along with floral decorations and fine gilding, reflecting the high skill and precision in manuscript craftsmanship of that era. The text is supported by carefully arranged verses, meticulously diacritized, with gold embellishments, decorative motifs, and golden separators between the verses—highlighting the great care taken in writing and decorating the Quran about 300 years ago. The exhibit showcases Islamic art and calligraphy in the adornment of Qur'anic texts and demonstrates the artistic development in the creation of ancient manuscripts.
