Omschrijving
The Chester Beatty Library’s 16th-century Ruzbihan Qur’an is one of the finest Islamic manuscripts known. In terms of both materials and workmanship, it is exquisite: lapis lazuli and gold are used on every page. This is the most detailed and comprehensive study of any Islamic manuscript.
Probably the most detailed examination of any complete Qur’an manuscript ever undertaken, of value to anyone involved in conservation or bibliography, and, indeed, since Ruzbihan and his colleagues undoubtedly achieved a great work of art, a source of delight to anyone who turns these pages ... there are few manuscript experts capable of Wright’s devotion to detail, but it is evident that what keeps her working on this great project is a driving enthusiasm for this superb artistic accomplishment, and she infects the reader with her passion.
