Descriptive card

A type-set copy of the 1716 Qur’an. There is no title page. The text contains changes made by Mikhail Volkov and Ivan Kremenetskii. The changes are stylistic, no cross-check with the original French version. The Russian text is written in a more archaic style (also Cyrillic instead of Arabic numerals as in the 1716 edition). On some margins, there are words written in Arabic script and transliterated into Russian.
