Descriptive card

A complete Quran with Eastern Turkic interlinear glosses. Copied in Shiraz, 734/1333-34 and attributed to a copyist named Muḥammad b. Ḥājī Dawlatshāh of Shīrāz. This translation is a word by word interlinear translation of the Qur’ān and does not contain any commentary-like notes. The language of this translation is archaic and can be dated to the 12th or 13th century Turkic literary language of the Qarakhānids in Islamic Central Asia; some parts were written in a later dialect.
