Notes Manuscript. 5 lines per page, thick laid Mamluk paper characterized by the existence of chain lines grouped in threes and running obliquely across the face of the page. The distance between the chain lines is ca. 10 mm and 45 mm. betweeد each group. Executed in fully vocalized al-Naskh al-Faḍḍāh, no tarwīs, systematic use of lam alif al-warrāqīyah, the height of alif being 9-10 mm. Main text in black ink, surah-headings executed in gold outlined in black (ff. 9a, 23b) in the form of Tawqī' script. Verses of the Qur'ān are divided by means of gold florettes. The codex begins with an illumination on the recto of the first folio consisting of a panel divided into a cartouche and a multi-lobed medallion carrying an inscription: al-sādis 'asbar min al-arba'ah al-sharīfah nafa'a Allāh bihā. It is the sixteenth volume of a set of 30 volumes. Contains v.72, ch.18 (sūrat Kahf) through ch.20 (sūrat Ṭāhā). The end is marked by a large circle (shamsah) with the inscription in decorative Kufi: khitāmuhu misk (perhaps the equivalent of "finis coronat opus" or "the crowning tough"). Contains round medallions in the margins with the words ḥizb, niṣf, rub', sajdah. Marked throughout as waqf and a badly rubbed inscription on the recto of the first folio reads: maqarruhu bi-al-Barqūqīyah bi-al-Ṣabrā, referring to al-khāniqāh al-Barqūqīyah in the desert i.e. extra muros, an an institution built for the Mamluk Sultan Barqūq by his son Faraj (d.815/1412), where the present copy was deposited. Calligraphed most likely by Ibn Muqlah (d.328/940) (f.46b). Incipit: قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِيَ صَبْرًا ... Explicit: مَنْ أَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ.
