| Description |
English: Left half of frontispiece of the "Great Umayyad Qur'an". Found in the Great Mosque in Sana'a, ornamentation of this manuscript incorporated motifs that are very similar to those used to decorate the Dome of the Rock, the Great Mosque of Damascus and desert castles of Umayyads. Because of this the time of production of this Qur'an has been narrowed to between 691 and 743. It is the only lavishly illuminated Qur'an codex extant that can be securely placed in the Umayyad period. Codex Sana'a Dar al-Makhtutat, 20-33.1 |
| Date | between 691 and 743 |
| Accession number |
20-33.1 |
