Notes
Ms. codex., Title supplied by cataloger., Foliation: Modern foliation added in pencil, upper left recto; catchwords every verso, lower left., Layout: 15 lines per page, border-ruled., Script: Written in naskh in black ink., Decoration: Simple polychrome (orange, blue, gold) dual-page illumination on first opening (f. 1v-2r); textblock border-ruled in gold and black; gold roundels, some with orange dots, mark verse ends; gold medallions in the margin mark text partitions; sūrah titles in white ink on gold backgrounds.

Covers are blind stamped with a double line frame around double line diagonals reaching from corner to corner and crossed horizontally by another double line. The flap and foredge cover have coordinating stamped double lines. Endbands are blue, green, and white thread in a chevron pattern., Origin: Copied by ʻUthmān ibn Shaykh Muḥammad, probably in the mid-18th to mid-19th century, perhaps in Turkey given the notes in Turkish at the end (f. 294r)., Watermarks: Wreath and grapes. | Arabic, with three pages in Ottoman Turkish.
Sample Text
Manuscript of the Qurʼān. The last three pages contain a commentary in Turkish (f. 294v-295v). The manuscript is in quite poor condition because the border-rules have eaten through the paper which has caused many of the textblocks to loosen.
