A single manuscript leaf from a 17th Century book of Muslim prayers. The page is in great condition for their age and is from a remainder volume of a copy of the Al-Kamilat al-Sajjadiyah prayers composed by Zayn al-Abadin (died 710AD) only 70 years after the death of the holy Prophet Muhammad. The script is elegant Arabic naskh, with interlinear commentary in red. There is also commentary in freehand in the right hand border with gold arabesque decoration enveloping the scripture which is framed in thin gold and back lines. The manuscript was dated AH Muharran 1101/AD1689.

Many thanks for your feedback. I do understand your point regarding the cutting of it: sometimes the pages are so badly damaged around the edges that cutting the edges seems the sensible thing to do for mounting purposes. We do not intend any disrespect at all and apologise if this has offended.

Lovely 19th century manuscript miniature that arrived early, and nicely mounted with a bibliographical note. A very fine seller that I return to bid and buy from often. Thank you.

Item as described. Quick dispatch. Good communication. Couldn't be any happier. (Have to pay taxes and customs now - but that was clearly stated, foreseeable and not the sellers fault. Damned Brexit!)

Thanks so much for this feedback. Yes - damned Brexit. All the fault of in-fighting in the UK Govt and a mistaken belief that a vote would make it all go away! It has caused small business and private individuals a good deal of unnecessary trouble.

Exceptional seller, fine manuscript leaves, securely packed and shipped promptly. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.
