I chose to investigate Baybars’ magnificent Qur’an for this assignment. My first impression of this manuscript was how beautiful the colors were throughout the book. The manuscript incorporated warm and cool colors. Contrast is shown be having the important information highlighted with a reddish color. Repetition is shown by repeating the same geometric shapes and style of writing. The pages that were side-by-side were aligned having the same right and left margins, and they also had the same number of lines. Proximity is shown by having liked information grouped together. The artist used calligraphy and geometric shapes to help us understand the importance of this manuscript.
