THIS OBJECT WAS SOLD
Handwritten Quran, Early 17th Cty, Upper Embossed Leather Binding
Islamic Art
Manuscript work
Superb handwritten Quran of 584 pages (+2 blank double pages at the beginning and end of the work),
calligraphy on palm leaves
I don't know its origin, and the book doesn't seem to contain a date neither the name of its author.
I thank you in advance for any help you could give me in understanding these elements.
Very nice and complete geniune binding with embossed leather flap, with a polylobed cartouche on each cover
The Quran is complete but the titles of the surahs don't appear, sometimes added in the margin of the text by its author.
The pages have all been photographed and an email delivery (grosfichiers.com) is possible on simple request.
Dimensions
29*23cm and thickness 8cm
Condition of use, very good, despite proven frequent use. Some small holes in the paper, stains, and slight folds in the corners of a few pages
