Often the research questions cannot be fully addressed by either discipline independently, but only through their combination, the archaeometric philological approach. Among the various manuscript traditions in which the two disciplines can find a common ground of research, the field of early Qur’anic manuscripts represents a challenging area of investigation because of the use of a colour code in their writing system. This paper presents a successful application of a combined approach for the interpretation of a deteriorated and multi-layered Qur’anic codex.
