Descriptive card

Turkish-Ottoman codex that has been looted during the siege of Koroni (Morea) in 1685 as attested by the not at fol. 355r (upper margin) : "Nella presa della fortezza di Coron nella Morea nell'anno 1685, alli 11 d'Agosto, Io fr. Marc.[o] Ant.[oni]o da Brusselles, capuccino, all'hora Cappellano della Galera S. Pietro di N.S. pigliai questo libro". A following note written by a later hand mentions another Qur'an looted in the same occasion and brought to Rome (BML, Or. 233).
