Framed Folio from al-Saheefa al-Sajjadiyya - 19th Century Ottoman Manuscript

This exquisite framed folio showcases a beautiful example of 19th-century Ottoman calligraphy, featuring verses from al-Saheefa al-Sajjadiyya (The Book of Sajjad). This collection of supplications and prayers is attributed to Imam Zayn al-Abidin (d. 94 AH / 712 CE), the great-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The folio features 15 lines of elegant black naskh script, with red overlines and catchwords guiding the reader. The text is framed within a gold border, further embellished with blue and black rulings. A gold rectangular cartouche highlights the heading, while a delicate foliage border adorns the outer margin, adding to the folio's artistic appeal.
