This codex is one of the earliest surviving Quranic manuscripts, with combined radiocarbon dating of its parchment placing its production between 605 and 651 AD. The seven folios in Berlin were once part of a larger codex that is now split, with 33 additional folios currently held in the Egyptian National Library. The Berlin leaves were acquired in 1939 from the estate of Bernhard Moritz, the former director of the Khedivial Library.

Considered by Gotthelf Bergsträßer to be the most important representative of the ḥiǧāzī script style due to its extensive size. It features a bold hand with tall, right-leaning hastae that sets it apart from more conventional early Kufic Qurans. Two folios from this same codex are currently preserved at the Dār al-Āṯār al-Islāmiyya in Kuwait.

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. A 462 are original leaves, while other sections such as Arabe 324 (a) and (d) were added centuries later to replace damaged or missing pages.

This manuscript is part of 'Codex Amrensis 1', a composite codex reconstructed from fragments scattered across libraries in Paris, St. Petersburg, Doha, and London. It was originally kept in the historic Mosque of 'Amr ibn al-'As in Fustat, making it an important artifact of early Islamic presence in Egypt.

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 almost complete codex is notable for being written by at least six different scribes in Kufic script. Originally documented in Gotthelf Bergsträßer's archives as 'Medina 1a', its folios were later repaired with paper edges, and a few missing pages were completed in Naskh script.

This monumental manuscript is one of the oldest surviving Qurans, traditionally believed to be the personal copy of Caliph Uthman stained with his blood. After being taken by Russian imperial forces in 1868 to Saint Petersburg, it was repatriated to Tashkent in 1923.

This manuscript fragment likely belongs to the same original Quranic codex as the St. Petersburg fragment Marcel 18. The text is written in an early Kufic script with no vocalization marks, and its verses are separated by groups of five dots.

The physical manuscript is currently lost and its origin is unknown; it survives today only through six photographs published in Bernhard Moritz's monumental 1905 album 'Arabic Palaeography'.

This codex fragment was documented in Bernhard Moritz's 1905 'Arabic Palaeography' album and was reportedly discovered in the ancient Egyptian city of Bahnasa (Oxyrynchos). Scholars suggest it may originally belong to the same large codex as other early Quranic fragments currently held in the Vatican, Paris, and the Khalili Collections.

This early Quranic manuscript, classified under the kūfī B.II script style, is distinguished by its highly angular, rectilinear letterforms characteristic of early Islamic calligraphy. It was likely brought from Damascus and has been preserved at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, where it was cataloged by Wilhelm Ahlwardt in 1887.

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. Curiously, folio 134 has been reported missing from the French National Library since approximately 2000, and no microfilm image of it survives.

This manuscript features elaborate verse separators, using groups of oblique strokes for individual verses, black ink alifs for groups of five, and red circles for groups of ten. The spaces between surahs are decorated with ornamental bands displaying the surah titles and verse counts in red ink. Diacritics are indicated by rare oblique strokes, while vocalization is marked with red dots.

This manuscript, comprising 213 parchment folios, contains the entire second half of the Quran starting from Surah Maryam (19). It was documented by Wilhelm Ahlwardt in his 1887 catalogue of Arabic manuscripts at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin and is notable for its robust Early Kufic script (D.Vb) with characteristic letterforms, such as the initial and medial 'kāf' often resembling 'dāl'.

The manuscript uses decorative medallions and bands to mark every ten verses, rather than separating individual verses. A marginal note in cursive script reveals it was once owned by Aḥmad Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Huwaydī, with later readers adding pious notes in the margins.

Originating from Fustat (Old Cairo), this fragment is notable for its marginal markings that indicate the division of the Quran into sevenths, fifths, and tenths to facilitate systematic recitation. The manuscript features a Kufic D.I script with oblique stroke diacritics, red dot vocalization, and golden letters indicating verse groupings.

This double parchment leaf is an excellent example of early Kūfī script written on 365 x 270mm parchment with 15 lines per page, providing a glimpse into the textual transmission of the Quran.

This manuscript was part of the collection acquired in Damascus by Johann Gottfried Wetzstein in the 19th century, which significantly enriched the Oriental holdings of the Prussian State Library.

The manuscript features a large, thick script that somewhat resembles a later large Naskh style. Diacritical points are used sparsely, while vocalization is frequently indicated by red dots, and green vertical strokes are sometimes used to denote the long vowel ā.

The manuscript originates from the collection of J. Richard and its text is written without diacritical marks, using red dots for vocalization. It features a unique binding with 16th or 17th-century brown leather boards, possibly of Indian origin, decorated with a central plaque and stamped fleurons.

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.
