The Dotting Of A Script And The Dating Of An Era: The Strange Neglect Of PERF 558 (2178 words) |
 | PERF 558 is just one of a crucial group of twenty-two papyri from Egypt, written mainly in Greek but with the odd one in Greek and Arabic, and dating from the period A.H. 22-57, that found their way in the nineteenth century into the Erzherzog Rainer Papyrus Collection in Vienna. |
| Further, the way that they are used in PERF 558 indicates that they are hardly likely to be a new development. |
| A possible explanation may be that less cursive styles than that exhibited in PERF 558 were used for the writing of the Qur'an, and that dotting did not feature in these; but the most that al-Hajjaj could have insisted on was the revival and regular use of earlier features. |
