Description |
English: Frontispiece to the first volume of Sultan Baybars' Qurʼan. Copied by Muhammad ibn al-Wahid, illuminated by team of artists headed by Abu Bakr Sandal (other two illuminators were Muhammad ibn Mubadir and Aydughdi ibn ‘Abdallah). Muhammad ibn Mubadir was responsible for the illumination in the first volume, which we know from his inscription from the final folio, and he designed this particular frontispiece, which is very different from frontispieces designed by Abu Bakr Sandal. Commissioned by Rukn al-Din Baybars al-Jashnagir, future Sultan Baybars II (1309-1310). Cairo, 1304 - 1306. British Library Additional Manuscripts 22406, ff.1v-2r |
