Descriptive card

First of a four-volume Qur'an (Q 1-6) used by Giovanni Battista Raimondi to make a collation of the Arabic text in his copy of a Persian tafsīr (BML, Or. 463); he also added occasional and sometimes wrong verse numbering on the margins, corresponding to those indicated in BML Or. 457. The manuscripts has two additional title: "Alcoranus pars I° Arabice" (fol. Ir) in Raimondi's hand and "المقالة الاولي من القران".
