VERY BEAUTIFUL GOLD ILLUMINATED OTTOMAN QUR’AN MANUSCRIPT:

This is an interesting Gold-Illuminated Quran manuscript from the Ottoman era. It is a complete handwritten book with fantastic Calligraphy. The first two Suras are illuminated with fantastic ornaments and contain pure gold. The Suras headings are illuminated with gold and the dots between verses as well. Many pages are also illuminated on the sides with beautiful multi-shaped medals and ornaments. All are hand-painted with different colors. The first leaf is thorn and a small piece is missing, but not affecting the text. The manuscript is unbound and a new leather cover with ornament was made by a previous owner. It is undated but looks like 250 years old, but I am not sure. The text is clear and the leaves are well preserved, no damage on the borders and the spine is tight. It is a complete book and formed of 300 leaves 600 pages. It measures 16.0 cm x 11.0 cm x 3.0 cm. You get exactly what you see on the scans.
