Descriptive card

It is a small rectangular codex containing Q 19:1-24:20. Vowels are marked in dark red, sukūn and tašdīd in blue, and hamza in yellow. The titles of the sūras have been added with a different red ink, and give wrong numbers of ayāt for each sūra; the ayāt division is added with the same ink and is inconsistent. The colophon has been written with the dark red ink used for the vocalization and defines the text as the 9th ǧuzʼ of the Muṣḥaf. The codex was part of the collection of the Syro-Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius Niʻmatallāh of Antioch, arrived in Rome in 1578, whose manuscripts were donated to Ferdinando de' Medici and established the inception of the Typographia Medicea collection in Rome, around 1580.
