- Title
- Untitled commentary on the Qur’ān
- Notes
- It comprises the last third of the Qur’ān, from the beginning of the 36th chapter (Sūrah Yā Sīn), to the end
- Possibly to be identified with the Cevâhir al-iṣdâk, composed for the founder of the Isfendiyarid principality, Isfendiyar b. Bâyezîd, d. 833 A.H.
- The text of the Qur’ān is inserted in detached verses or portions of verses, either with red ink or with a red line drawn over it. The commentary is written in plain old Turkish. The archaic character of its grammatical forms and vocabulary assigns to it a date not later than the ninth century of the Hijrah
