Presenting a single elegant folio from an 18th-century Ottoman Quran, offering a captivating glimpse into the artistry and spirituality of the Islamic faith, through the lens of the Ottoman Empire. This double sided Arabic manuscript is handwritten on watermarked paper and features 17 lines of black naskh script. Each Surah heading is elegantly executed in gold thuluth script, emphasising its significance and separating it from the main text. The punctuation marks are carefully inscribed in red ink, while marginal notes are rendered in black, showcasing the precision and attention to detail typical of Ottoman calligraphy.
The text is framed within a broad gilt border, providing a radiant and refined backdrop for the verses. Verses are separated by exquisite gold roundels, adding a luxurious touch to this already magnificent piece of Islamic manuscript art.
The folio covers several verses from Surah Al-Jum'a and Surah Al-Munafiqun, as detailed below:
Surah Al-Jum'a: Beginning - Verse 10 (part)
Surah Al-Jum'a: Verse 10 (part) - End
Surah Al-Munafiqun: Beginning - Verse 7 (part)
The folio is currently preserved within a glass frame, offering a clean look that draws focus to the folio, but can be custom-framed according to the customer's preference, allowing for a more personalised and elegant presentation that suits any home or collection setting.
Condition Report
This folio is in good antique condition with minimal foxing and slight signs of wear along the edges, commensurate with its age. The handwritten calligraphy remains clear and crisp, while the gold and red accents still radiate their original charm, capturing the visual splendour of Ottoman manuscript design.
