Descriptive card

This is a heavily annotated copy of Thomas Erpenius' annotated edition of Sura 12 (Yusuf) of 1617. The owner, the Braunschweig municipal counsel Johann Camman Jr. (1584-1649) used this text intensively in his study of Arabic, leaving countless notes, which document his close reading of the sura and the advances he made in Arabic.
