British Library Acquires 700-Year-Old Koran |
|
|
|
LONDON.- The British Library has added a 700-year-old Koran to its digitized library as part of its ’Turning the Pages’ project. The ancient book, written in gold in the Arabic style of script known as Thuluth, is known as Sultan Baybars’ Koran. It dates from 1304-1306 and was produced for the Mamluk ruler of Egypt, Rukn al-Din Baybars al-Jashnagir. The British Library is one of the world’s great knowledge institutions. It holds over 150 million items from every age of global civilization, from historical documents to the latest information for business and research. Their website describes the library’s collections and wide range of services. Visitors can search the catalogues and order copies of some documents online. Visitors can also view some of the cultural treasures on show in their galleries in London, which are open to all, free of charge, seven days a week.
