1. Qur'an with part of Surat al-Qamar, Fragment
- Title Tesim:
- Qur'an with part of Surat al-Qamar, Fragment
- Description:
- Description by Jan Just Witkam, Professor of Paleography and Codicology of the Islamic World, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands (2010): Arabic, parchment, 16.2 × 22 cm (largest measurement), 1 leaf with text on either side, ragged edges with damage especially in the four corners of the leaf (was the leaf taken out of an album?), also three larger and a number of smaller holes in the leaf, ʿAbbāsid bookhand, possibly of the 4/10th century, 16 lines of text on either page, text area: c. 13 × 19.0 cm, now kept in a passepartout. The diacritics for the consonants are done with little strokes, the vowels are given with red dots; unadorned, rather primitive ten-verse dividers which are possibly of a later date, although there seems to be space left open for them, can be observed at the end of āya 10, 20 and 30. An old fragment of the Qurʾān (54:1-32). Recto (hair side): Qurʾān 54:1 (al-Qamar)—16 (wa-Nudhuri). Verso (flesh side): Qurʾān 54:17 (laqad yassaranā)—32 (fa-hal). Images of either leaf are shown at several instances in the Digital Image Database Online (DIDO), of the History in Art department of UVic, Nos. 085585, 085586, 085587, 085588, 266618, 266619. Description by Sohrab Mosahebi as part of coursework for a manuscript studies class with Dr. Adrienne Williams Boyarin, June 2022: An old fragment of Qur’an, written on parchment with the size of 162 × 220 mm (largest measurement). It is only one leaf with text on either side, written in one column with 16 lines on each side and in horizontal (landscape) orientation. The parchment is damaged especially in the four corners of the leaf, with three larger and a number of smaller holes in the middle. It is identified by Witkam as “Abbāsid bookhand” (106–08). The content shows the first 32 verses of “Surat al-Qamar” (The chapter of the moon) with the first 16 on the recto (hair side) and the second 16 on the verso (flesh side) of the parchment. There is no decoration or illumination, and the only instance of any kind of rubrication are red dots...

4. Commentary on the Psalms, Fragment
- Title Tesim:
- Commentary on the Psalms, Fragment
- Description:
- Commentary on the Psalms, perhaps part of a larger Bible commentary; the fragment presents Ps. 34, 10 (first underscored Psalm text is verse 11: 'surgentes testes iniqui quae ignorabam interrogabant me') to Ps. 34, 13 (last underscored Psalm text is part of verse 13: 'humiliabam in ieiunio animam meam'). This is an extensive Psalm commentary as a single folium (of large proportions) holds only about two verses (Psalm text underscored).

- Geographic Coverage:
- Additional Physical Characteristics:
- Parchment sheet (half a bifolium) that has been trimmed on one of the long sides, probably because it was cut out of a book (see irregular edge on the left side of the initial 'L' for 'Lactuce'); used as a wrapper around a booklet of modest proportions (the folds and stitch holes on both the left and the right of the letters 'c' in the margin mark the outlines of the back of this unknown volume); parchment of mediocre quality (as shown by the hole and the 'transparent' patch in lower margin, which are original); ruling visible (plummet); pricking survives in upper margin only; several reference letters ('c') in margin on recto indicating what initial the illuminator needed to produce; main text and rubrics by one scribe (littera textualis, 1250-1300), who worked in France, possibly in the south; initials with penwork flourishing.
