Descriptive card

"15 lines per page. Nash, vocalized, written with many errors. At the beginning, there is a title adorned with floral motifs. The black ink used is of poor quality and unstable when exposed to moisture. The names of the suras, the verse numbers, and the place of revelation are omitted. The paper is of medium thickness, smooth, dark white to yellowish in color, with a watermark, of European origin. Some folios were recorded, and correspondence was later maintained, during which certain folios were duplicated. The text is framed by a thick golden band. Foliation was added later. The binding is original leather, with a flap, cracked along the spine and partially detached from the manuscript pages. The first cover is torn off and missing. The exterior of the back cover and flap feature embossed floral decorations."
