[Al-Ḥaddādī al-Ṭabarī al-Ᾱmulī and Copying the Qur’ān in the Khanqah of Abul Abbās Qaṣṣāb-e Ᾱmulī in Amol, in 687/1288

This article introduces a Qur’ān manuscript which was transcribed in muhaqqaq script in Amol (northern Iran) in 687 /1288, by Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Ḥaddādī al-Ṭabarī al-Ᾱmulī. According to the colophon, the scribe copied the Qur’ān in the Khanqah established by the famous sufi, Abul Abbās Qaṣṣāb-e Ᾱmulī (Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Abd al-Karīm al-Ṭabarī). Having been maintained in Iran until one or two decades ago, it has now been moved to the Museum of Islamic Art (Doha, Qatar) after being auctioned in London (Christie’s Auction House, October 6, 2009).
