Descriptive card

This is a partial copy made by Giovanni Battista Raimondi, scientific director of the Typographia Medicea (Rome 1584) of the work on taǧwīd (Qur'anic recitation) by Zakariyyā al-Anṣārī. Raimondi's copy testifies to his interest in the subject and suggests that this kind of work has been a source for the compilation of his Alphabetum Arabicum, published in Rome in 1592 with great originality in comparison to the previous publications of this genre. Other manuscripts on the same subject and owned by Raimondi are in the Biblioteca Laurenziana, Florence.
