Examine the particulars. Read our narration of the passage of NEP-80 (a juz’, thirtieth of the Qur’an, manuscript) from Dimitri Andalaft’s shop in Khan al-Khalili in Cairo to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. Learn about the main characters, George Byron Gordon and Dimitri Andalaft in their respective exhibits. Analyze the images and the metadata; find details we overlooked in haste.
