The illuminated panels of the opening bifolio are decorated with scrolls of tapering split palmettes with small nodes attached to the tendrils that are very similar to that found on a Qur'an dated 1375-6 that bear the name of Turan-Shah, vizir of Shah Shuja', ruler of Shiraz between 1357 and 1384 (David James, Qur'ans of the Mamluks, London, p.196, fig.138).
