拍品专文

In the medallion on the final page it is written that Ibn Muhammad 'Ali Muhammad Taqi presented the Qur'an to the library of a certain unnamed statesman (na'ib-i vala) in the year AH 1253/1837-38 AD. A Muhamamd Taqi ibn Muhammad 'Ali is known to have presented a Qur'an to Nasir al-Din Shah in Rajab AH 1268/1851-52 AD (Mehdi Bayani, Ahval va Asar-e Khosh-Nevisan, Tehran 1346 sh., p.1154). This Muhammad Taqi may well be the same person who gifted our manuscript.
