Quran Manuscript - Arabic With Persian - Northern Indian - With Extra Contrast
This large-format, illuminated Timurid copy of the Qur’an is
believed to have been produced in Northern India in the ninth century AH
/ fifteenth CE. The manuscript opens with a series of illuminated
frontispieces. The main text is written in a large, vocalized polychrome
muḥaqqaq script. Marginal explanations of the readings of particular
words and phrases are in thuluth and naskh scripts, and there is
interlinear Persian translation in red naskh script. The fore-edge flap
of the gold-tooled, brown leather binding is inscribed with verses 77
through 80 from Chapter 56 (Sūrat al-wāqiʿah). The seal of Sultan
Bayezid II (886–917 AH / 1481-1512 CE) appears on fol. 8a. There is an
erased bequest (waqf) statement and stamp of Sultan ʿUthmān Khān (432-6
AH / 1027-31 CE) on fol. 3a.
