Coran (juzʾ) - 4 feuillets Coran sourate 78

Ancient manuscript Qur'an – 4 simple sheets, recto-verso – 8 handwritten pages Coming from a Qur'an on detached manuscript leaves. 17 cm × 12 cm. Probable period: second half of the 17th century, first half of the 19th century. Circa 1750–1850.. 4 simple sheets handwritten recto-verso, i.e. 8 handwritten pages, originating from the same old Arabic Qur'anic manuscript preserved in detached leaves. The set comes from a portion of a Qur’an (juzʾ) and contains several identifiable surahs. Among the passages formally recognized on the leaves are notably surah al-Mulk (الملك, surah 67) as well as the final surahs of the Qur’an, including al-Ikhlāṣ (الإخلاص, 112), al-Falaq (الفلق, 113) and al-Nās (الناس, 114). The Qur’anic text is copied in Arabic in large, regular and very legible calligraphy in black ink, abundantly vocalized and punctuated with auxiliary signs. The titles and indications relating to the surahs are rubricated in red-orange ink, as are some reading and separation signs. The written surface is bounded by a multi-ruled polychrome manuscript frame, mainly red-orange and black, with occasionally a blue-green line. The surah changes are particularly decorative, their title, traditional classification and number of verses may be inscribed in red before the basmala, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Provenance of the leave material The present leaf comes from a set of manuscript leaves. The leaves were contained in a folder of the type of binding post-dating the leaves with an old catalog card in Arabic that documents their identification and chronological attribution.
