Yasmine Cafasso
Thus, in March 2009 a golden copy of one page of the most ancient manuscripts dated to the 8th century was presented to the King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The gift was presented by Veniamin Popov, Director of the Centre of Partnership and Civilizations. Mr. Avdeyev, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation was present at the official ceremony in the Riyadh royal palace.
Manuscripts with colored backgrounds were as rare in the East as they were in the West and the gilt pages of this manuscript indicates its great importance. It is a masterpiece of calligraphy with a golden background that allows the Nashki script in black ink to really stand out. The chapter headings are written with Kufic script framed in blue, red, white, or black.
The golden Quran and associated manuscripts will be displayed in the Special Collections reading room on Level 2 of Central City Library for two weeks after the seminar. Zain has told us that it is absolutely stunning so definitely worth a look.
