ILLUMINATED QURAN MANUSCRIPT FROM THE OTTOMAN ERA:

What you see is a handwritten old Quran manuscript from the Ottoman era. This beautiful book is undated but looks like 250 years old (I am not sure). The date and calligrapher apparently were written at the end but were vanished as well. it is unbound but the previous owner had repaired the book and made a new leather cover with wrap. The leaves are well preserved but some were damaged and repaired perfectly. The text is written with beautiful Arabic calligraphy in bold letters and black and red inks. The text is framed within golden frames and shows laceration in most leaves due to heavy gold metal. Some leaves also exhibit ink blotches.  Many colored medallion ornaments exist in a significant number of leaves. The spine is tight and the leaves show no worm holes. It is formed of 300 leaves and 600 pages. The leaves are affected by foxing and some dirt. It measures 16.0 cm x 11.0 cm x 3.0 cm. You get exactly what you see on the scans.
