AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient manuscript Quran – 2 simple leaves, double-sided – 4 pages handwritten
Originating from a Quran on detached leaves.
17 cm × 12 cm.
Probably from the second half of the 17th century to the first half of the 19th century.
Circa 1750–1850..
2 simple leaves handwritten double-sided, i.e. four handwritten pages, coming from the same ancient Arabic Quran manuscript kept in detached leaves.
The set comes from a portion of a Quran (juzʾ) and contains several identifiable surahs. Among the passages formally recognized on the leaves are notably surah al-Mulk (الملك, surah 67) as well as the final surahs of the Quran, including al-Ikhlāṣ (الإخلاص, 112), al-Falaq (الفلق, 113) and al-Nās (الناس, 114).
The Quranic text is copied in Arabic in a large, regular, highly legible script in black ink, abundantly vocalized and punctuated with auxiliary signs. The titles and indications related to the surahs are rubricated in red-orange ink, as are some reading and separation marks.
The written surface is delimited by a multicolored manuscript frame with multiple lines, mainly red-orange and black, with occasionally a blue-green line.
The surah changes are particularly decorative, their title, traditional classification and number of verses may be written in red before the basmala, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Material provenance of the leaves
The present leaf comes from a set of handwritten leaves.
The leaves were contained in a folder of the type binder, dating after the leaves with an old cataloging card in Arabic that allows documentation of identification and chronological attribution.
It bears notably:
اسم الكتاب : جزء من القرآن الكريم
Ism al-kitāb: Juzʾ min al-Qurʾān al-Karīm
Book title: a part of the Noble Qur’an.
The field reserved for the copyist’s name (اسم الكاتب) is not filled.
The card further indicates:
تاريخ الكتابة : القرن العاشر الهجري
Tārīkh al-kitāba: al-qarn al-ʿāshir al-hijrī
Date of copying: 10th century AH.

2 simple leaves double-sided from an Arabic Qur’anic manuscript.
Handwritten in black ink with red-orange rubrication.
Partial description of the 2 leaves.
2 simple double-sided leaves handwritten from the Quran including several of the shorter surahs from the final portion of the Quran, notably Quraysh, Al-Māʿūn, Al-ʿAlaq, Al-Qadr and Adh-Ḍuḥā. The passages evoke notably divine protection, aid to the poor and orphans, Revelation, the creation of man, learning by the pen and the Night of Decree. Surah titles and calligraphic separation marks are written in red.
2 simple double-sided leaves, 4 handwritten pages, 17 cm × 12 cm per simple leaf.
Rough-textured smooth laid paper.
