Notes
Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 405 Origin: Lacks dated colophon ; paper, decoration etc. would suggest late 16th or possibly early 17th century ; dated ownership statement on 'title page' (p.3) provides a terminus ante quem of 1853. Former shelfmark: "311 T. De M. [i.e. Tammaro De Marinis]" inscribed in pencil on recto of front flyleaf (p.1). Binding: Pasteboards covered in dark red leather ; Type II binding (with flap) ; doublures in brown leather ; upper and lower covers carry stamped mandorla (filled with vegetal composition, compare Déroche class. NSd 7), pendants and cornerpieces ; sewn in yellow thread, two stations ; worked chevron endbands in pink and yellow, damaged but in fair condition ; overall in somewhat poor condition with abrasion, staining, lifting of leather, etc. Support: non-European laid paper with 7-8 laid lines per cm. (vertical, fairly indistinct) and no chain lines visible, crisp, well-sized and burnished, dark cream in color ; much repaired. Decoration: Elegant illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān / sarlawḥ) at opening on p.4, consisting of rectangular piece with gold cartouche (carrying invocation in red "يا قاسم الارزاق بالاستحقاق" ) surrounded by delicate arabesques with floral motifs in gold, lavender, red, turquoise, etc. on a light blue and gold ground, surmounted by a scalloped band of evoking a row of domes filled with same delicate arabesques in gold, pink, lavender, turquoise, red, etc. on grounds of light blue and gold, itself surmounted by vertical stalks (tīgh) in light blue ; another fine illuminated headpiece at opening on p.45 ; written area surrounded by a frame of gold bands defined by black fillets, divisions within (occasionally gold-flecked) defined by narrow gold bands outlined by black fillets ; illuminated tailpiece at close on p.48, consisting of elegant vegetal designs in black and pink with red accents on a gold ground with lapis borders. Script: Nastaʻlīq ; bold, elegant Ottoman hand ; serifless, with effect of words descending to baseline, closed counters, and elongated horizontal strokes.
