Two leaves of an early Quranic manuscript in the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts of the University of Birmingham's Cadbury Research Library were identified in 2015 as being dated between 568 and 645, making this the oldest Quran manuscript to date.<br/><br/> The manuscript is written in ink on parchment, using a monumental Arabic Hijazi script and is still clearly legible. The leaves preserve parts of Surahs 18 to 20. The university intends to place the manuscript on display for the first time at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts during October 2015, and then at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in 2016.

al-Hejaz, also Hijaz (Arabic: الحجاز‎ al-Ḥiǧāz, literally 'the barrier') is a region in the west of present-day Saudi Arabia. Defined primarily by its western border on the Red Sea, it extends from Haql on the Gulf of Aqaba to Jizan. Its main city is Jeddah, but it is better known for the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina. As the site of Islam's holy places the Hejaz has significance in the Arab and Islamic historical and political landscape. The region is so called as it separates the land of Najd in the east from the land of Tihamah in the west.
