Title
Figure 3: Bible of Cava
Description
The similarities between the Bible of Cava (specifically in the color of the parchments and the ruling) and the Blue Qur'an hint at the two influencing each other, and subsequently leading to implications that the person who commissioned the Blue Qur’an was aware of the Bible of Cava and aimed to create their own manuscript that would rival it.
