Descriptive card

Eighteenth juz of the Qur'an, from 23:1 to 25:20. Fol. 20: 21 x 15 (15 x 9.5); 9 lines. Nash, vocalised, written with a skilful pen, in large letters. Black ink, poor quality, fades to the touch and is affected by humidity. Titles in red ink. Thin, smooth, light brown paper, with watermark of European origin. Some leaves have been restored and glued at the edges. The leaves are numbered in modern form in the margins and folios. Binding: leather, original, slightly worn at edges. The outside of the cover is decorated with plant motifs in relief. There is no information about the copyist, place or year of copying. Based on the paper, writing, ink and binding, it is probably from the 18th century.
