English: Double-page from the Qur'an copied by 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr b 'Abd al-Rahman al-Katib al-Maliki, called Zarin Qalam (Golden Pen). The words "Al-Katib al-Maliki", "The Royal Scribe", imply that the calligrapher was the secretary or scribe of a Seljuk ruler. Each page of this manuscript has nineteen lines of text; the first, tenth, and nineteenth lines are written in script which resembles muhaqqaq (although with some features unkown to later forms of the script) and the two blocks sandwiched in between each comprise eight lines in rayhan (it also lacks some of the characteristic features of the rayhan used in later times, such as the spacious and upright quality and the flat dots. In some ways it looks like regular naskh). New chapter is introduced by the basmala in black kufic edged with gold. This spread marking the middle of the text also has elaborate decorative panels with Koranic passages at the top and bottom. Chapter 19:1-29. Iran, dated 3 August 1186 (15 Jumada I 582).
