	Manuscript #26572 A leaf from an African Prayer Book (Dala'il al'Khayrat), Nigeria or Western Sudan, early 20th century on paper. The colophon names the scribe, Muhammad al-Thani bin al-Haaj Muhammad al-Murham. The script of this manuscript appears to be based on a less cursive, heavier and more angular primitive version of maghrebi, identified by some commentators as ifriqui, which was to prove over time less popular than the more elegant and cursive hand generally identified as maghrebi. The script used in the 20th century is rare and sought after by many collectors. The Dala'il al'kharyrat (â¢??Ë?Sings of blessings') is a celebrated collection of prayers, widely disseminated throughout the Islamic world. This leaf is a fine example of Sub-Saharan prayer book production, containing elaborate bold illumination and calligraphic flourishes. Beautifully custom framed. $350
