Qurʼān

Manuscript Qurʼān portion containing surahs 1-17 (from Sūrah al-Fātiḥah (سورة الفاتحة) to Sūrat al-ʼIsrāʻ (سورة الإسراء)), complete. It contains the first 3 manzil, or weekly sections, of the Qurʼān, plus surah 17, or roughly the first 15 juzʻ. A carpet title page precedes two illuminated pages containing surah 1, Al-Fātiḥah, "The Opener," and the first lines of surah 2, Al-Baqarah. The top cartouche of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah reads "Sūrat Fātiḥat al-Kitab al-ʻAziz," (Sura "Opener of the holy book"). The bottom cartouche gives the number of verses in the surah and the place of revelation, Mecca. The top cartouche of surah 2 reads "Surat al-Baqarat miʻatan wa thamanun" (Suran "The Cow" 280) and the bottom cartouche continues "wa sitta ayat, nazalat madaniyah" (and 6 verses, descended in Medina). Other surah titles are given in cartouches set off from the verse text. All surah titles include the name of the surah, the number of verses, and the place of revelation.
