Topkapi manuscript

[5] With only two pages (23 verses) lacking, this manuscript is the closest to the complete text of the Quran.

Mehmed Ali Pasha, Governor of Egypt, sent this manuscript to the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II as a gift in the 19th century (CE).

[6][7][8] The paleographic assessment indicates that the Topkapi manuscript comes closest to those writings that date back to the 8th century.

E. İhsanoǧlu: "An examination of the Topkapı Muṣḥaf shows that it was written with a developed kufic script.

Apparently this Method of Abū al-Aswad al-Duʾalī [invented after the death of Caliph ʿUthmān] was carefully followed in placing the vowel marks of the Topkapı Palace copy.

For this reason, each of them was called the (Muṣḥaf ʿUthmān)" (Altıkulaç, al-Muṣḥaf al-Sharif, page 80).
