François Déroche schreibt zum Fragment KFQ55 (Déroche, The Abbasid Tradition, London 1992, S. 71): "23 / Single folio / 9th century AD / Fragmentary (largest dimensions now 16.8x28.5cm), with 15 lines to the page / Material Parchment; the verso is the hair side / Text area 12.5x21.5cm / Script A style related to D.1 / Accession no. KFQ55 / This fragment shows a modified form of D.I: usually a large script, its dimensions have been reduced here, and the different type of pen needed has had an effect on the forms of some letters, particularly nūn. Such adaptations seem to have been fairly rare, o judge by the surviving manuscripts. / The text - Sūrat al-Rūm (XXX), verse 54, to Sūrat Luqmān (XXXI), verse 7 – is written in black ink, without diacritical strokes. Red dots indicate the vocalization. Individual verses are not punctuated, but a gold Kufic hāʾ marks the end of every fifth verse, and a 4.A.II device, with the number of verses written out in gold D script on what was probably a red ground, indicates groups of ten verses. At the beginning of Sūrat Luqmān, the title and the verse count have been written in gold D script, outlined in ink. The lower part of the folio has been lost.”
