This fine small Qur'an is notable for the copious illumination both within the text and encompassing the addtional pages.In addition to the Names of Allah, the list of juz and suwar often found in Qur'ans, at the end of the manuscript is a list describing the number of stories about Joseph, verses about Adam or the Bani Israel, the verses dealing with freeing slaves or breast feeding etc.
