François Déroche schreibt zum Fragment  KFQ 46, das ursprünglich aus demselben Kodex stammt wie die Fragmente KFQ 47 und KFQ 71 (Déroche,  The Abbasid Tradition, London 1992, S. 120): "66 / Three folios / End of the 8th century AD / 32 x 38.5 cm (KFQ 46) and 32.5 x 39.2 cm (KFQ 47, KFQ 71), with 16 lines to the page / Material Parchment; the hair side is the verso in KFQ 46 and KFQ 47, and the recto in KFQ 71 / Text area 23.8 x 30.5 cm (KFQ 46), 24 x 32.5 cm (KFQ 47), 24 x 31.2 (KFQ 71) / Script Style F.I / Accession nos KFQ46, KFQ47, KFQ71 / Other fragments from the same Qur’an / Geneva 1985, no.4; Pal 1973, no.141; Sotheby’s London, 15-16 April 1985, lot nos 40-44; 21-22 November 1985, lot nos 284-5; 20 November 1986, lot nos 255-6; 4 December 1987, lot nos 182-3; 11 October 1991, lot no. 885; Christie’s, London, 16 June 1987, lot no. 72 / Style F.I is also known from two manuscripts in Istanbul – Topkapı Palace Library, MS.Y 744 (Karatay 1962, no.42; Bergsträsser & Pretzl 1936, pl.7), and an unpublished Qur’an in the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts. It is an independent script, although some of its letter forms may be compared with those of other styles. The independent form of alif resembles that seen in group D, for example, whereas final nūn is almost a semicircle and is very different from the final nūn of D.Vc. Final mīm has been flattened on to the line and has an almost triangular tail. The medial form of hāʾ alternates between a group of C type (KFQ 71, recto, line 3) and a group D type (line 12). The forms assumed by ʿayn are particularly interesting: at the beginning of a word, it has a wide, rounded opening, while a short rounded V is set on top of a thin shaft in the medial form. In the medial ʿayn and medial qāf (KFQ 71, recto, line 15), the ligatures which connect them to the two adjoining letters are rounded, closely following the circular line of the body of the letter. Mashq occurs frequently in this fat script, and the calligrapher often finished some letters (final nūn, yāʾ, wāw) with an enlargement of the stroke. / These three folios contain Sūrat āl ʿImrān (III), verses 178-85 (KFQ 71), Sūrat al-anʿām (VI), verses 38-46 (KFQ 47), and Sūrat al-tawbah (IX), verses 92-9 (KFQ 46). The text is written in black ink; the diacritical strokes are a later addition. Red dots indicate the vocalization. Clusters of three strokes (I.I.I) mark the ends of the verses. A ‘white’ and green alif, outlined with red, indicates the end of a group of five verses (see KFQ47), and a circular device in red, green and yellow (I.E.Ib) plays the same role for groups of ten verses.”
