It contains a large and comprehensive range of Qur'anic material, covering the entire history of Qur'an production from the seventh to the twentieth centuries, including examples from centres as far apart as Spain and India. This is the first of four volumes cataloguing the Qur'ans in the Khalili Collection. It includes Abbasid Qur'ans from the eighth to the tenth centuries. This catalogue combines examples of detailed scholarship encompassing the history of the subject.
