The codex Parisino-petropolitanus and the ḥijāzī scripts
2010
Overview
The codex Parisino-petropolitanus, a Quranic manuscript from the third quarter of the first/seventh century, is the result of teamwork.The differences between the scripts of the five copyists who were involved in the transcription point to a lack of standardization in the matter of scripts during the first decades of caliphal rule. Although material evidence indicates that the manuscript is likely to have been produced for public use, each of the copyists had a personal approach to the transcription of the text, showing that this manuscript predates the emergence of specific, standardized Quranic scripts. This is further corroborated by each scribe's individual treatment of the orthography and the manner in which diacritical dots are used.
