Chapters XCI-XCIV. The script he has used in this Qur'an is considered by many to be a naskh-rayhan variant, rather than pure naskh. This Qur'an is thought to be the earliest existing example of a Qur'an written in a cursive script. It is also important as an early example of a Qur'an copied in a vertical format on paper.   Created: 1000-1

唐太宗在宫内接见松赞干布派来的吐蕃使臣禄东赞的情景。李世民端坐在由六名宫女抬着的坐榻（又称步辇，本图即以此为名）上，另有三个宫女分别在前后掌扇和持华盖。唐太宗面前站立三人：最右者，身穿大红袍，是这次仪式的引见官员；中间是吐蕃的使臣禄东赞，拱手而立，发型和服饰与中原地区不同；最左为一穿白袍的内官。

- Yan Liben (c. 600-673), formally Baron Wenzhen of Boling (博陵文貞男), was a Chinese painter and government official of the early Tang Dynasty. His most renowned work is the Thirteen Emperors Scroll. He also painted the Portraits at Lingyan Pavilion, under Emperor Taizong of Tang, commissioned in 643 to commemorate 24 of the greatest contributors to Emperor Taizong's reign, as well as 18 portraits commemorating the 18 great scholars who served Emperor Taizong when he was the Prince of Qin. Yan's paintings included painted portraits of various Chinese emperors from the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) up until the Sui Dynasty (581-618) period. His works were highly regarded by the Tang writers Zhu Jingxuan and Zhang Yanyuan, who noted his paintings were "works among the glories of all times".
