This codex contains a colophon attributing it to ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib and dating it to 40 AH (660 AD), though scholars believe this colophon was added later. It also features a waqf (endowment) deed written on the first page in 1775 AD.

Carbon dating of fragments from Arabe 324 (c) places its origin between 660-780 AD. The manuscript is part of a composite codex, where Arabe 324 (c) and Gotha Ms. orient.

This codex is known primarily through photographs in the Gotthelf Bergsträßer archive, taken in the early 1930s. Although the original manuscript is no longer identifiable in the current museum catalogue, these rare photographs survived World War II and provide a crucial record of this early text.

This nearly complete 8th-century Quranic manuscript is notable for its extensive preservation, containing text from the very beginning of the Quran to its final Surah.

This papyrus codex bifolia from Egypt is one of the rare early fragments of the Quran written on papyrus, notable for still having a string attached to its spine.

This codex is largely complete, containing the entire Quran, though the first folio and a few other leaves were supplied by a later hand. Written on parchment, the manuscript represents an important transitional stage in the evolution of the Arabic script toward the Maghrebi style. While generally well-preserved, some of the early and late folios exhibit water damage and have been repaired.

This complete Quran was produced in Baghdad by the renowned calligrapher ʿAlī b. Hilāl, also known as Ibn al-Bawwāb, around 1000-1001 AD. He is a significant figure in Islamic art, closely associated with the adoption of the round Naskh script to transcribe the Quran.

This codex is closely related to two other Andalusian manuscripts held in Istanbul, which were written in Cordoba (1143-1144 AD) and Valencia (1182-1183 AD), suggesting a similar provenance. It features distinctive Maġribī micrography for the main text and angular chrysography for the Surah headings.

This manuscript is notable for its detailed colophon written in both Arabic and Persian. It precisely dates the completion of the codex to noon on Friday, May 29, 1198 AD, by a Persian scribe and teacher (muʿallim) named Muḥammad b. Sulaimān.

This manuscript is a rare case where a Quranic codex is precisely dated by a colophon (completed on May 5, 1204 AD) and the scribe, al-Faḍl b. ʿUmar ar-Rāʾiḍ, is a known Iraqi scholar mentioned in Muslim scholarly literature. It also contains an exegetical compilation detailing circumstances of revelation, abrogated verses, and variant readings.
