Summary

Description: 13th century c.e. Qur'an manuscript

  • Fragment of a Quran, Sura 33: 73-74
  • In Arabic
  • Spain or northwest Africa
  • Thirteenth century

One of the first Quranic manuscripts to enter the Vatican Library, this codex comes from a "madrasa" or mosque school in Tunis and was probably taken when the troops of Charles V captured the city in July 1535. A fine example of the maghribi script typical of northwest Africa and Muslim Spain, the manuscript also contains good illuminations. It is only a fragment of the Auran, from sura 33:31 to sura 35:45 (part 22). The pages shown here bear the last two verses of sura 33 (verses 73-74).
