Endowing Qurans by Shia and Sunni women in ancient Islamic centuries was a common practice, and numerous examples of these can be found in the library of Astan-e Quds Razavi. Amiratī bint Abī al-‘Abbās al-Ḥamrā'ī, likely a Shia woman from the 5th century AH, endowed a thirty-fragment Quran in Iranian Kufic script to the shrine of Imam Reza (AS). This article provides a historical overview of this manuscript and its endower, describes its textual and artistic features, and demonstrates that fragments of this endowment have dispersed over time, now found in the National Library of France (Arabe 7263), the shrine of Imam Hussein (AS), and the Central Library of Tehran University (4631), or have been sold in various European auctions.

Abū al-Barakāt Alī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Ḥusaynī was one of the most important Shiite scholars in the fourth century and the first quarter of the fifth century AH in Khorasan. Not much is known about his birthplace and biography, but a search of historical sources shows that he was a Twelver Imāmī Shiite, one of the scholars and poets of Khorasan, and a resident of Neishabour. In addition to mentioning his name and poems in the works of Abū Manṣūr Tha‘ālibī (d. 429/ 1037), and mentioning his name among the students and narrators of al-Shaykh al-Ṣadūq (d. 381/ 991), the components of a thirty-part Qur’ān, transcribed by him, now available in the endowments of the Shrine of Imām al-Riḍā in Mashahd, would draw our attention more to him and his academic life. After reviewing his life and works, this article introduces the thirty-part Qur’ān, which he wrote and devoted to the Shrine of Imām al-Riḍā in the holy city of Mashhad in the month of Ramadan in 421 / September 1030.
