The leaves, held in the university's Mingana Collection, contain parts of chapters 18 to 20, written with ink in an early form of Arabic script known as Hijazi.
Quran manuscript has been carbon dated to close to the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), making it one of the oldest in the world, a British university said on Wednesday.
The Quran manuscript will be placed on public display at the university between October 2 and October 25. — Khaleej Times
