Ɵ A large Qur'an, printed in Arabic, with hand-coloured additions [Malaya, or Singapore, dated 1287 AH (1870 AD)] single volume, final page of Qur'anic text missing, else textually complete (possibly lacking another leaf containing printed colophon), including introductory prayers and a printed fihrist at the front of the volume, first leaf (detached and torn) together with opening two pages of Qur'an and final page with printed borders, hand-painted with bright vibrant colours, slight damp-staining to some outer edges, else clean and attractive condition, 300 by 195 mm.; contemporary limp untamed leather with flap, chips and a few holes to leather While this volume is missing its final leaf, likely including the colophon, it bears a number of striking similarities to an edition of the Qur'an printed in 1286 AH, one year before this edition, by Haji Muhammad Nuh bin Haji Ismail in Singapore. The colophon of that edition also names the scribe as Tengku Yusof bin Tengku Ibrahim and includes some preparatory text in Jawi (Malay written in modified Arabic script). Another close comparable to the present text is a manuscript currently held in the British Library (Or.MS 15227), copied in Malaya, that is illuminated in a near-identical style to this one.
