| Description |
This decorated finispiece contains a colophon inscribed in Mashriqī (also known as thuluth Maghribī) script stating that this is the end of volume 9 of the Qur'an (al-juzʾ al-tāsiʿ min al-rabʿah) and offering a prayer for the Prophet Muhammad and his family. The text is framed by an inner band of blue and gold and two outer bands of interlace design in gold, blue, and white in reserve. At right is a marginal medallion palmette. This square-format manuscript on parchment is volume 9 (al-juzʾ al-tāsiʿ) of the Qur'an, covering chapter 29 (Sūrat ʿankabūt), verse 46, to the end of chapter 37 (Sūrat al-ṣaffat). It dates to the sixth century AH / twelfth CE and was produced in the Maghreb. The text is written in Maghribī script in dark brown ink and vocalized with polychrome dots. The manuscript opens with a double-page illuminated frontispiece (fols. 3b-4a) and incipit (fol. 4b). Verse markers in the shape of trefoils indicate the end of each verse, and the letter hāʾ in the form of a teardrop and discs with rosettes indicate groups of five and ten verses. The illuminated finispiece with colophon (fol. 133b) states that it is the end of volume 9 of the Qur'an (al-juzʾ al-tāsiʿ min al-rabʿah) and offers a prayer for the Prophet Muhammad and his family. The dark red goatskin binding dates to the tenth century AH / sixteenth CE.
