The extant folios contain more than 99 of the text of the Quran.

A note in the beginning of the mushaf says that it was brought to the Topkapi Palace and kept in the Holy Relics Department, which was built during the reign of Sultan Selim I.

A facsimile edition of this manuscript appeared in the year 2007.

There are good number of other Qurans such as the ones at St.

Petersburg, Samarqand, Istanbul and two at Cairo, viz., at al-Hussein mosque and Dr al-Kutub al-Misriyya having at times turned up in different parts of the Islamic world, almost all purporting to show the traces of the blood of the third caliph Uthmn upon certain pages, and thus the genuine Uthmnic Quran, the imm, which he was reading at the time of his death.

Moreover, the manuscript clearly shows the script, illumination and marking of vowels that are from the Umayyad times (i.e., late 1st century early 2nd century of hijra ).

Furthermore, this manuscript was also briefly discussed by Salh al-Dn al-Munajjid who did not consider it to be from the time of caliph Uthmn.

For example, parts between folios 1b-6b and 11a-11b exhibit a different hand as compared with the script in rest of the codex.

It could be that some of the folios were lost and damaged for some reason and were rewritten and added to the codex later.

Two dots were placed to indicate the nunation known as tanwn.

The sequence of the surahs is just like what is seen in modern day copies of the Quran.

These rosettes are illuminated in a colour different from the other signs.
