AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient manuscript Qur'an – 4 simple sheets, recto-verso – 8 handwritten pages
Coming from a Qur'an on detached manuscript leaves.
17 cm × 12 cm.
Probable period: second half of the 17th century, first half of the 19th century.
Circa 1750–1850..
4 simple sheets handwritten recto-verso, i.e. 8 handwritten pages, originating from the same old Arabic Qur'anic manuscript preserved in detached leaves.
The set comes from a portion of a Qur’an (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 Qur’an, including al-Ikhlāṣ (الإخلاص, 112), al-Falaq (الفلق, 113) and al-Nās (الناس, 114).
The Qur’anic text is copied in Arabic in large, regular and very legible calligraphy in black ink, abundantly vocalized and punctuated with auxiliary signs. The titles and indications relating to the surahs are rubricated in red-orange ink, as are some reading and separation signs.
The written surface is bounded by a multi-ruled polychrome manuscript frame, 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 inscribed in red before the basmala, بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Provenance of the leave material
The present leaf comes from a set of manuscript leaves.
The leaves were contained in a folder of the type of binding post-dating the leaves with an old catalog card in Arabic that documents their identification and chronological attribution.
It bears in particular:
اسم الكتاب : جزء من القرآن الكريم
Ism al-kitāb: Juzʾ min al-Qurʾān al-Karīm
Book name: a portion of the Noble Qur’an.
The field reserved for the name of the scribe (اسم الكاتب) is not filled.
The card further states:
تاريخ الكتابة : القرن العاشر الهجري
Tārīkh al-kitāba: al-qarn al-ʿāshir al-hijrī
Date of copy: 10th century AH.

4 simple recto-verso leaves coming from an Arabic Qur’anic manuscript.
Set of 8 handwritten Qur’anic pages The passages cover notably the end of Surah 78, An-Nabaʾ (“The Great News”), Surah 79, An-Nāziʿāt (“Those Who Rive Apart”), as well as the beginning of Surah 80, ʿAbasa (“He Frowned”). The content mainly concerns the Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, Paradise and Hell, as well as the story of Moses facing Pharaoh. Two beginnings of surahs are particularly highlighted by red rubrics and the Basmala.
