Unknown - Qur'an - Herat - 1460

Qur'an - Herat - Timurid - AD1460. This is a manuscript leaf from a Koran scribed shortly after Shah Rukh’s reign at a time of great political turmoil. It was relatively small for ease of carriage, thus was most likely for private use.

Qur'an - ヘラート - ティムール朝 - 西暦1460年。これは Shah Rukh の治世直後の、政治的混乱の時期に筆写されたコーランの写本の一葉です。携行を容易にするため比較的小さく作られており、したがって私用で使われた可能性が高い。

It contains 13 lines of scripture from the Medinian Chapter 3, Al-Imran (The Family of Imran) v.31-37, which introduces the story of Maryam (Mary) and her mother's vow, a well known section after the account of Adam, Noah and the family of Abraham/Imran. Specifically these verses outline the true path of loving God through following the Prophet, and transition into the story of Mary (Maryam) and her family.

メディーナの第3章「アル＝イムラーン（イムラーン家）」の31-37節、すなわち Maryam（マリア）と彼女の母の誓いの物語を導入する箇所からなる聖句を13行含みます。これは、アダム、ノア、アブラハム/イムラーンの家族の物語の後に広く知られた節であり、具体的には預言者に従って神を愛する真の道を outlining し、Maryam（マリア）と彼女の家族の物語へと移行します。

The leaf contains 14 lines of evenly spaced and elegant naskh script in black ink and in an educated calligraphic hand. Multiple free-hand 'aya' in a simple gold spiral mark out the verses . A blue marginal on the left marks the 35th verse.

この葉には、 evenly spaced で優雅なナスフ体の黒インクによる14行が、教育的な書法で書かれています。節を示す複数の自由書きの「aya」は、シンプルな金色の渦巻きで示されています。左の青い余白が第35節を示します。

There is some devotional use staining bottom right through page turning, but otherwise this is a good clean copy and well preserved for its age dating from around the time of the fall of Constantinople to Islam in 1453.

ページをめくる際に右下にいくらかの敬虔な着色が見られますが、それ以外は良好で清浄な写本であり、1453年ごろのコンスタンティノープル陥落時代に相応しく良好に保存されています。
