89 Note that the manuscript shows places in which the scribe apparently forgot to leave
enough space for placing the one-verse symbols when he went back over the text to do so. I
suppose this to have been the process given all the other evidence suggesting that the same
scribe who wrote the text placed the one-verse symbols, and that there are places where a one-
verse symbol has been squeezed in between ayas. One such instance appears in this section 
similar to the instance at Q. 18:18 discussed above (a single column of six strokes). This time,
instead of Scribe A s usual two columns of three vertical strokes, there is just one column of
four strokes. It does not make sense that Scribe A intended to drop that verse-symbol, since to
do so at that and other such points in the manuscript would depart from any known system,

including that of Øimß. For other examples of  squeezed in verse-ending symbols, see
Q. 14:5 (f. 30a.10), Q. 13:35 (f. 29b.10), Q. 18:25 (f. 44a.17), Q. 18:26 (f. 44a.21), Q. 18:66
(f. 46a.22), Q. 19:54 (f. 49b.2), Q. 19:68 (f. 50a.2), Q. 20:17 (f. 51.5). Grohman, Arabic
Papyri, pp. 83 4, mentions that these dots appeared in the form of short dashes in early
Qur ans.
90 The first scribe (A) includes no right foot-serif on his alifs; the second scribe (B) does.
Scribe A s lýÿm-alif is somewhat angular at the bottom, with a relatively narrow gap between
the two stems; Scribe B s is formed with a loop at the bottom and has a wide gap between its
two stems. Scribe A s initial j1m/Ûýÿ"/khýÿ" is formed with a straight diagonal stroke above the
line connected to the right of a vertical line extending left; Scribe B s diagonal stroke has a
slight concave curve. The tail of Scribe A s nün/ßýÿd/"ýÿd/s1n/sh1n is a downward curve with a
 tuck to the left and uniform line-thickness. Scribe B stops a bit short on the tuck, and turns
the pen for a taper.
91 Each rosette is red, except at Q. 7:121, where it is brown with a faded reddish tinge. The
number of dots vary, depending on the amount of space available  from seven to nine dots, as
in Q. 7:131 and Q. 7:141, to as many as twelve, as in Q. 7:71, Q. 8:10, Q. 10:44. (a  rosette
consisting of a red circle surrounding the one-verse symbol and a series of dots in turn
surrounding it).
92 Dots inside: Q. 7:81 161 (but note that Q. 7:121 is illegible); Q. 8:40 60 (perhaps);
Q. 8:70 9:89; and not Q. 10:15 and Q. 10:30 (which are the oddly placed symbols, discussed
above); and nowhere after. The solid circle of the problematic rosette at Q. 10:15 (f. 15a) is
unusually thick as if traced over more than once, as is the one that follows it at Q. 10:30 (f.
16a). Perhaps these were later additions to fill lacunae  one mistaken (Q. 10:15 instead of
Q. 10:20) and the other correct (Q. 10:30). Indeed, some rosettes (e.g. throughout ff. 43a b)
are missing altogether.
93 Q. 7:101 (f. 3b), 201 (f. 7b); Q. 10:101 (f. 18b); Q. 11:101 (f. 23a); Q. 16:100 (f. 37a);
Q. 17:101 (f. 42b); Q. 18:104 (f. 47b); Q. 20:98 (f. 53a). At Q. 12:100 (f. 27a), the bottom left
corner of the folio is cropped and badly blurred. An additional mark can be made out above
the last word of the verse (al-Ûak1m). Though it is very blurred, this presumably was the 100-
verse symbol. At Q. 21:101 (f. 58a), the only other hundredth verse in the facsimile, there is
no distinguishing mark other than a one-verse symbol at this point.
94 For example, at Q. 7:101 the dots of the circular single-verse count are oddly connected in
brown ink, as if they were the start of a brown rosette (like the brown hýÿ" above) that did not
receive its surrounding dots. The ten-verse rosette at Q. 7:201 has clearly been erased and the
100-verse hýÿ" placed atop the one-verse symbol. At Q. 10:101, no attempt has been made to
erase the ten-verse rosette, perhaps because it is so intertwined with the surrounding letters
(nün of the preceding verse, fýÿ" of the following verse, and the stems of the lýÿm-alif from the
verse below) that doing so would compromise the text. Thus, only in this instance does the
ten-verse rosette appear along with the 100-verse hýÿ". The presence of the rosette may explain
the additional note  mi"a (the only instance of this) to ensure that a reader does not [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
