The legacy of Qur'anic calligraphy and illumination forms a comprehensive yet cohesive whole which has assimilated to the cultural differences that exist over the vast distances separating the regions of the Islamic world. Khader Salameh shows how the art has developed over time as he studies a selection of Qur'an manuscripts held in the al-Haram al-Sharif Islamic Museum in Jerusalem.
