The Seventh and the Thirteenth Juz', in Arabic, in 1 vol. small folio, fine MS. in bold Naskhi characters, six lines to the page; in the original Egyptian binding of smooth fine grained morocco, ornamented with geometrical gilding, and blind-tooled knot-work and dots on the sides (mended and rebacked) Written about 1450, bound about 1500 Within the first and second gold fillet on the sides, there is a border in blind-tooling of a row of saltires, with a dot in each quarter. (These dots were originally gilt.) Inside the second fillet, there is an elaborate geometrical design in gold lines, consisting wholly of figures of angular form over which falls one that is nearly circular to the eye but is really a dodecahedron. Within the lines and in the corners there are dots and lattice-work, a few of the dots still retaining their gold. On the overlapping leather, the surface is blind-tooled with knotwork except in the middle where a crescent stands out in plain relief. This volume was formerly the property by bequest of some institution, and has the word wakf marked on various pages. It is all in one handwriting and must therefore be regarded as having been the only rescued or obtainable portions of some famous Kur'an. 833 DA WAT-I SAB'A: Prayers, in Arabic. Small folio, MS. on gilt paper, 5 leaves or 8 pp. in the finest style of calligraphy, with ten lines in small Naskhi, and three lines in Culç upon every page, written upon a gold ground and having the margins decorated with gold patterns of flowers, plants, and trees; in a superb binding 660 Constantinople, about 1600 21 0 0 The cover is red morocco, but of its colour and texture we see no more than a geometrical or architectonic figure in high relief which serves to frame the centrepiece. The sides are entirely covered otherwise with fine arabesques in low relief upon a ground of gold which occupies the whole of the sunken panels or compartments inside and outside of the red leather space referred to. Inside, the red morocco is covered by a lining of olive morocco which has an ornamental frame-work and fillets, and in the centre a sunken oval panel of blue morocco bearing a beautiful floral design in gold in strong relief. This is Persian work of the highest order executed in Constantinople about 1600-1610. (See facsimile among Illustrations.) The scribe, whose name is given in a colophon, was a famous calligrapher, of the end of the sixteenth and beginning of the seventeenth century: Ahmad KaraHisāri. VIII.
