Calligraphic album of a selection of aphorisms of the Prophet Muḥammad written by the calligrapher Ḥasan Riżā. The pages are heavy card with the first and last leaf as a single sheet and all other leaves as sets of two sheets adhered together with ribbon lining the edges. The paired leaves are all beginning to separate.
Lacunose copy of the prayer book. It is missing several leaves at the beginning. One loose bifolium of noncontiguous leaves, probably from the quire missing at the beginning, is laid in at the front. A few marginal notes, one in Persian.
Devotional book containing selections from the Qurʼān, other short prayers and illuminated panels and calligraphic drawings. Several pages of prayers in a different hand at the end with the last page inverted (f. 71v-76v). Some titles in Ottoman Turkish.
Devotional book containing selections from the Qurʼān, several illuminated seals (muhr) and calligraphic drawings with the names of God, the Prophet Muḥammad, other Imams and family members; three blank pages at the end have been prepared for drawing but left unfilled (f. 69v-70v).
Incomplete copy of a collection of homilies and saints' and martyrs' lives. This manuscript is part of a now-dispersed manuscript written at Mt. Sinai. The table of contents (f. 3v-4r) lists 22 works, but only portions of the first and fourth are present in this manuscript. A set of 8 leaves on paper (170 x 160 mm) have been added in a later hand and include the incomplete story of the martyrdoms of Anbā Qūris, Yuḥannā, the three virgins and their mother.
Short account of the life of the Prophet Muḥammad with extensive commentarial marginalia. The margins are 65-80 mm wide on each side with commentary written in angled paragraphs, numbered individually.
Nearly complete copy of the Qurʼān, the first two folios are missing, so the text begins with verse 17 of al-Baqarah and one folio is missing from the end, so the last complete sūrah is al-Māʻūn.
Copy of most of Juzʼ 8 of the Qurʼān. The text begins with the last two words of verse 112 of al-Anʻām, and ends with the penultimate word of verse 78 of al-Aʻrāf.
