Qur'an
Kashmir, late eighteenth century
manuscript on thin buff paper, 388ff. plus six flyleaves, each with 11ll. of strong black naskh, punctuation in red, gold roundels between verses, gold, green and blue margin between black rules, various marginal section markings in red, sura headings in red naskh within gold margins, occasional repairs, illuminated opening and final double folios, the text in both within gold clouds surrounded by gold and polychrome floral illumination, repaired and trimmed, later gilt-tooled maroon binding
text 7 x 12in. (17.8 x 30.5cm.)
folio 9¾ x 14¼in. (24.8 x 36.3cm.)
The scribe has arranged the lines of the text throughout so that on each page the first and last lines begin with the same letter, as do the second and tenth, the third and ninth and so on. The relevant letters are written in red to draw attention to the magnitude of this achievement.
