Descriptive card

An interlinear Qur'an translation into Old Ottoman. The manuscript was copied in 827/1424. The document belongs to what E. Birnbaum termed the “Recension A” tradition exemplified. The Turkish language of the manuscript was already archaic when it was copied. The Turkish text is not confined to the translation proper but extended to include some explanatory expansions.
