68 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, f. 12a (called S�rat Ban1 Isr��"1l); al-D��n1, 177, al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q,
f. 15a; Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, p. 42. Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 57 8. There is one disputed
aya: Q. 17:107.
69 Dutton offers an alternative explanation: that the rosette at Q. 17:89 rather than at Q. 17:90
was overlooked (presumably, by a ten-verse rosette marker counting individual ayas) when
the rosettes were added. See Dutton, Notes , p. 58.
70 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, f. 12a; al-D��n1, Bay��n, p. 179, al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, ff. 13a 15b;
Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, pp. 42 3. Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 58 9. There are eleven disputed
ayas: Q. 18:13, 22 3, 32, 35, 84 6, 89, 92 and 103.
71 The heading reads S�rat al-Kahf wa-hiya mi"a wa-sitt & (f. 43a, 7), though the letter after
the t��" from the broken sitta is obscured enough that one could imagine it reading sab of
sabfia as well. All the other sura headings align to the Damascene system, and there is no
reason to suppose that this one alone diverges from that pattern.
72 Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 58 9.
73 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, ff. 12a 12b; al-D��n1, Bay��n, p. 181; al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, ff. 15b 16a;
Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, p. 43. Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 59. There are three disputed ayas:
Q. 19:1, 41 and 75.
74 Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, p. 43. Al-fiA ��r records that the Iraqis agree on the total verse
count as 98 (Mubhij, f. 12a).
75 The place of sajda comes at Q. 19:58 (idh�� tutl�� fialayhim ��y��tu l-ra�m��ni kharr�
sujjadan wa-bukiyy��) (f. 49b, 9); but as in other such places e.g. Q. 17:107 9 (f. 43a.2),
there is no sajda symbol to mark the place.
76 It is possible that the symbol simply has been cut off at the edge of the page, but this is
unlikely, as the space remaining on the page after �iliyyan seems large enough for a symbol.
D�roche and Noseda also list this verse-ending as missing rather than obscured, though
Dutton ( Notes , p. 59) does not discuss the absence of this symbol.

77 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, f. 12b (listing 23 disputed ayas); al-D��n1, Bay��n, pp. 183 4 (listing 21
disputed ayas); al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, ff. 17a 17a (listing 21 disputed ayas); Spitaler, Die
Versz�hlung, pp. 44 7 (listing 23 disputed ayas). Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 60 2 (listing 24
disputed ayas). At the largest count, there are 24 disputed ayas: Q. 20:1, 33, 34, 39 (two
places), 40 (three places), 41, 47, 77, 78, 86 (two places), 87, 88 (two places), 89, 92, 95, 106,
123, 124, and 131. Al-fiA ��r s list is one short of Dutton s because he does not include
Q. 20:95 (y�� S��miriyy), which is not counted in the �im�1 reading, except for in records of
two minority �im�1 schools. See Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, p. 45; cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 60.
Al-D��n1 does not include any of the uniquely �im�1 variations, and al-Mutawall1 includes
some but not all of them.
78 Al-fiA ��r records that the �im�1 reading has 138 ayyas (al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, f. 12b). Al-
Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, f. 16a, also records this uniquely �im�1 total verse count, but al-D��n1 and
Spitaler do not.
79 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, ff. 12b 13a; al-D��n1, Bay��n, p. 187; al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, f. 17a;
Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, p. 47. Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 62. There is one disputed aya:
Q. 21:66.
80 Al-fiA ��r, Mubhij, ff. 13a 13b; al-D��n1, Bay��n, p. 189; al-Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, f. 17b;
Spitaler, Die Versz�hlung, pp. 47 8. Cf. Dutton, Notes , p. 62 3. There are five disputed
ayas: Q. 22:19, 20, 42, 43 and 78. The last few ayas are not in this position of the MS.
81 Note that al-fiA ��r mentions that 74 is the total verse count for Syria; but al-Mutawall1 lists
74 for Sh��m and 75 for �im�. This is confusing, because, according to al-Mutawall1, Sh��m
means Syria as I have been using it, i.e. a shared Damascene and �im�1 reading. See al-
Mutawall1, Ta�q1q, f. 6b (fa-in w��faqahum�� (i.e. Ibn fi�%mir and Ya�y��) Ab� �aywa fa-[q1la]-
Sh��m1). Moreover, al-Mutawall1 s list of internal verse counts show no Damascene-�im�1
divergence. Perhaps his mention of the total verse count differences refers to a minority �im�1
variant that is not considered by al-fiA ��r and that in any case does not apply to our
manuscript.
82 This section takes only a portion of the manuscript as a sample for the detailed examination
of stylistic features. It covers ff. 1 19a (Q. 7:42 9:95, Q. 10:9 109) and ff. 58 61 (Q. 22:1
72).
