If you ask me, this is one of the most important manuscripts in the Cairo Genizah collections. It's a page from a 9th-century Quran with text from Sura 11 (Hud) about the prophet Noah (vv. 43-50). Despite this origin, it was found in a synagogue and likely owned by a Jew. @theul.bsky.social

Light, stained, horizontal parchment folio from a Quran codex, showing 8 lines of Arabic text in black ink. Red dots mark some of the vowels in the text. The margins are wide and several creases are visible running vertically across the page. A pencil label in the bottom right reads T-S Ar.38.8 (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-TS-AR-00038-00008/1).

Jesuits and the Lost Art of Letter Writing

The Jesuits in Britain Archives is full of letters – personal correspondence, circulars, letters to and from Fr Provincial and Fr General, annual letters in Latin, postcards and Christmas cards. There are letters from Guyana, South Africa, Jamaica, India, Maryland, Rome, from all parts of Britain and, it seems, from all corners of the world. Such a volume of correspondence is perhaps unsurprising for letters are the staple component of many archives. However, the extent of the correspondence pre
