↳ Characteristics
  • The present manuscript has remarkably few marginal and textual ornaments in the margin. The only decorative elements used are the strings - yellow or orange painted circles, partly quatrefoils in yellow and orange - as well as unusual Southeast Asian small wave ornaments.
    Border lines in red and black. Highlighting in red.
Illumination
  • three illuminated double pages;
    The double-page decorative leaves at the front and back come from a different workshop than the calligraphy; it is highly probable that they were added in a second work step after the main text was completed. Their special illumination is characteristic of Aceh; in the present manuscript they contain the first and the beginning of the second sura at the front, part of sura 18 in the middle and the last two suras 113 and 114 at the back.
