François Déroche schreibt zum Fragment KFQ 25 (Déroche, The Abbasid Tradition, London 1992, S. 96): "43 / Single folio / 9th or 10th century AD / 10.2 x 15.7 cm, with 7 lines to the page / Material Parchment; the verso is the hair side / Text area 5x11.2cm / Script Related to style D.Va / Accession no. KFQ 25 / The script of this fragment clearly belongs to the D group. In line I of the recto, final kāf has been written with its upper shaft bent to the right, and this enables us to define the hand as close to D.Va. On the other hand, the head of final nūn has almost disappeared, and the shape of the letter sometimes verges towards that of D.Vb. In some instances alif appears as a vertical stroke without a lower return (see verso, end of line 4). / This fragment’s main point of interest lies in the transcription of the text in cursive script which has been added in the margin, an indication of the difficulty people found in reading manuscripts in the Early Abbasid scripts. The original text – verses 13-17 of Sūrat al-fatḥ (XLVIII) – is written in brown ink, without diacritical strokes. Red dots indicate the vocalization. The verses are not divided, but a gold Kufic hāʾ marks the end of every fifth verse.”
