Descriptive card

Another Anʿām-collection containing a specific selection from the Koran, dated 2 Ḏū l-ḥiǧǧa 1147 [25 April 1735] and copied by ʿAlī Badr Mādarīn, a disciple of al-Sayyid Darwīš Yūsuf. The manuscript includes the following sūras: 1 al-Fātiḥa, 6 al-Anʿām, 36 Yā-Sīn, 44 al-Duḫān, 48 al-Fatḥ, 50 Qāf, 53 al-Naǧm, 55 al-Raḥmān, 56 al-Wāqiʿa, 67 al-Mulk, 78 al-Nabaʾ, 112 al-Iḫlāṣ, 113 al-Falaq, and 114 al-Nās (fols. 1v–54r). It also contains instructions on prayer in Ottoman Turkish along with the text of prayers and tasbīḥ formulas in Arabic (fols. 54v–55r; 58r–61r), the 99 names (al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā) of God in tabular form in gold ink (fols. 55v–57r), and the 99 names (al-asmāʾ al-šarīfa) of Prophet Muḥammad (fols. 57r–58r), as well as the physical description of Muḥammad and the first four caliphs (fols. 61v–64r). Fols. 65r–71r are blank. 70 folios; 9 lines per page; page dimensions: 214×138mm, text dimensions: 128×73mm; illuminated headpiece on fols. 1v–2r in gold, blue, red, and black ink; full leather binding; with gilded almond-shaped centerpiece (NSd) and corner pieces; with flap; paper doublure; in good condition; paper: laid paper with watermarks; script: nasḫī; fully vocalized; ink: black; diagonal catchwords in black ink; frames in gold ink; the verse boundaries in gold, red, and blue ink; flyleaves. This manuscript was in the ownership of Joseph Wenzel I (1696–1772), Prince of Liechtenstein, as evidenced by his coat of arms bearing his initials (I.W.F.Z.L., i.e., Ioseph Wenzel Fürst zu Liechtenstein) on the front and back covers. Later, it came into the possession of Adam František Kollár de Keresztény (1718–1783)—Imperial-Royal Court Councilor and Chief Imperial-Royal Librarian—as indicated by the volume's description in Latin on the first flyleaf and the Latin inscription on the last flyleaf. The latter was penned by Franciscus de Zierovsky of Sopron, the last recorded owner of the manuscript, on 1 January 1816.
