al-Qurʼān القرآن الكريم This manuscript is now IO Bijapur 289 in the India Office collections. [metadata: Otto Loth, A Catalogue of the Arabic Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office, (volume 1), no. 92 here with further notations and hyperlinks]. 92. B 289. Size 111/4 in. by 61/2 in.; foll. 168. From twenty-one to twenty-six lines in a page. A fragment of a Ḥâshiyah on Baiḍâwî’s Commentary, by an unknown author. Imperfect both at the beginning and the end, and with many other defects. It comprises only the first two Sûrahs. The first words are: قوله لیکون ای العبد او الفرقان.1 This is the rough copy of the author, written in Nasta’liḳ, in the tenth or eleventh century. Sundry passages are crossed or emended; numerous additions on the margin. The text of the Koran is added throughout. 1 Cf. i. p. ۲, I. 2 of Fleischer’s edition.
