Summary

Description
English: Spain or northwest Africa. 13th 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 page shown here shows the beginning of sura 33 ayah 73. See Image:Sura 33.jpg for the adjacent page
