Descriptive card

Translation and brief commentary in Turkish on the first sura of the Qur'an, al-Fātiḥa, by an unknown author and commentator. Beginning (fol. 215b): (Arabic transcription of the first verse of the sura al-Fātiḥa). ‘In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. The Merciful, the Compassionate. King of the Day of Judgment. You we worship, and to You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those on whom Thou hast showered Thy grace, not of those who have incurred Thy wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.’ End (fol. 216a): The commentary ends with a note indicating that the copy was made in 1232 Hegira. According to the manuscript, the copyist is the same as the one who appears on the previous folios 817-818 (i.e. between folios 90a and 215a).
