The best-known Moroccan printed Qur’an of the twentieth century. Zouitn wrote it in mabsūṭ script and al-Habbabi had it lithographed, so the print reproduced the calligrapher’s hand as it was. It spread through Moroccan households, and the Ministry of Habous reprinted it for the beauty of its mabsūṭ hand.
Printed, not manuscript. We included it because its original is in the hand of a known calligrapher and the date of its first printing is certain.
