Descriptive card

3 lines per pages. Part of the Mushaf from 2:253 to 7:206. Nash, voccalised, written with a blunt pen. Black ink, poor quality, unstable when exposed to moisture. Tawjeed characters written in red ink. Two types of paper, white with different watermarks. Foliation added later with graphite pencil. Leather binding, relatively well preserved. The outside of the front cover is lined with decorative paper. There is no information on the copyist, place or year of production. Judging from the paper, writing and ink, the original leaves probably date from the 16th century, and the later additions from the 17th or 18th century.
