Jonathan Devaux

This is a very ancient manuscript page from the Seljuk era, almost a millennia ago and is of Turkish origin. The folio recounts scriptures from Chapter 4 An-Nisa (Women) v.112-116,  "And if you are among them and were to establish their prayer, then a party of them should stand up with you taking their arms and when they had finished their prostrations, they should fall back and another party who had not yet prayed come up and pray with you. Take your arms and your baggage, for the disbelievers if they are negligent of your arms and your baggage, to attack you in a single rush. But there is no fault in you if you put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because you are ill, but take every precaution for yourselves. Allah has prepared a humiliating torment for the disbelievers". 

The condition is classified as 'fair' because there is water staining to the folio and some professional repairs seen on the rear of the manuscript. However, for a manuscript 975 years old, it has been preserved remarkably well. This is a rare manuscript worthy of any collection.
