Photographic Facsimiles of the Remains of the Epistles of Clement of Rome. Made from the Unique Copy Preserved in the Codex Alexandrinus. 1856 Roger Fenton British In 1853 Fenton was hired as the first official "Photographer to the British Museum." Eager, in his own words, "to be connected with so useful an application of the photographic art," he made thousands of photographs that helped the museum catalogue, classify, and publicize its growing collection. This album is a facsimile of the Clementine Epistles, a letter and a sermon dating from the first and second centuries, ascribed to Saint Clement, the fourth Pope and an early Bishop of Rome. The Epistles are among the oldest extant Christian documents aside from the New Testament itself. An appealing aspect of this album is the visual conundrum that arises from the conflation of what is depicted and the depiction itself-the surface of the manuscript page and the surface of the photograph. The lettering of the manuscript shares spac

Qur'an Juz' XXVII 17th-18th century The earliest surviving Chinese Qur'ans date to the fifteenth century and were associated with Chinese Sunni Muslim communities called the Hui. The Qur'ans were divided into juz' (one of thirty parts into which the Qur'an is divided) and followed a standard format that endured throughout the Ming Period (1368-674) and later.This juz' is written in Sini script, a variation of muhaqqaq (one of the six canonical proportional scripts). Several of its folios are illuminated with decorative patterns characteristic of Sini Qur'ans. These are typically executed in gold and outlined in black, green, and red ink. The patterns and motifs found in these Qur'ans include overlapping circles, eye-shaped and lobed cartouches, four-petalled floral diesigns and star-shaped geometric forms, and plaited framing devices. This juz' features ornate swirling vegetal designs in the outside borders and is bound in richly decorated stamped brown leather binding featuring Sini c
