What the pages show

The pages were read from the images, not from the OCR text, because the OCR of the calligraphy did not produce a reliable text. The scribe chose a different colour band for each panel: gold, brown, blue and red.

The final written page holds a prayer for blessing upon the Prophet ﷺ. The verses mention intercession, a concept that Sunni belief affirms. No opinion is attributed to the poet or the scribe beyond what the text says.

Poet, scribe and date

The poet's name, the scribe's name and the date of copying are not printed on the pages examined. The shelfmark F 1437 on the cover label is a library shelf number, not a Hijri date, and is not used as evidence of when the album was made.

Source

The record rests on one primary source, the album itself: source/nekfy01437-album.
