Descriptive card

"13 lines per page. Nash, vocalized. Poor quality ink, unstable when in contact with moisture. The titles of the suras, the number of verses, and places of revelation are written in red ink. Several types of paper, medium thickness, whitish color with various watermarks, of oriental origin. Individual pages are scattered and partially detached from the binding. Foliation was later added in graphite pencil. The binding is original leather, with a fold, deteriorated by moisture, and with holes. On the exterior of the cover, there are some rosettes formed by several small elements. There is no information about the scribe or the year of production. Judging by the paper, the writing, the ink, and the binding, it is most likely that the copy dates from the 17th century."
