Yemen: Folio from a Qur'an written in four different styles of script - Naskhi, Muhaqqaq, Kufic and Thuluth, c. 1300-1350. Unusually, this leaf from a Qur'an exhibits four different types of script. Eastern Kufi is used for the framed, illuminated chapter heading for sura 20 and the round markers for each tenth verse. In addition Naskh is used for the main text; Muhaqqaq is used in the black lines contoured with gold; and Thuluth is used for the golden centre lines.
