Double frontispiece in unwân illuminated in gold and polychrome with five lines of text in reserve on a gold background, the central line inscribed in thuluth in gold letters, the text framed by two unwân in poly-lobed medallions and a frieze of gold fleurons on a blue background. Titles of suras inscribed in reserve in gilded cartouches sometimes girdled with blue and separations of verses marked by gold illuminated discs. Marginal inscriptions in gold letters and red ink indicating the divisions of the text. Bound in brown morocco with stamped decoration of a medallion with double appendages and spandrels highlighted in gold. Bookplate of the former owners "M. Silvestre de Sacy - Le Ch. Ferrão de Castelbranco" and catalog record (n°15) glued in a plate.

*Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy (1758 - 1838). Famous French orientalist who was, among other things, holder of the Persian chair at the Collège de France (1806-1838), president of the École des langues orientales (1824-1838), founding member of the Société asiatique and curator of Oriental Manuscripts at the Royal Library, Baron Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy had built up the most important oriental library ever assembled by a private individual, notably through his exceptional Koranic collection. A catalog of his books and manuscripts was published after his death, the manuscript part having been entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Grangeret de Lagrange, sub-librarian at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal and proofreader at the Royal Printing Office for Oriental languages. Our manuscript would seem to be n°15 of the 1842 catalog if we are to believe the notice stuck inside the work.
*Collection of the Ferra?o de Castelo Branco family, Count da Ponte
