Koran - Quran leaf - 1575
No. 86491835
A single folio page covering Chapter 39, Az-Zumar (The Successive), v.49-55, from a 16th Century Qur'an. The folio consists of 12 lines of continuous text in black nasta'liq and two illuminated 'Juz' marginal roundels indicating 5th or 10th verse (in this case v50 and 55). The scripture is framed with two full gold frame lines and a red and outer blue. The condition is very good for its age.
There are multiple 'aya' marking the verses within the scripture and diacritical (devotional markings) in red to provide guidance to the devotee. There is also commentary in the right margin shown in image 9d, but it is not possible to make out what it says.

Lovely 19th century manuscript miniature that arrived early, and nicely mounted with a bibliographical note. A very fine seller that I return to bid and buy from often. Thank you.
View translationItem as described. Quick dispatch. Good communication. Couldn't be any happier. (Have to pay taxes and customs now - but that was clearly stated, foreseeable and not the sellers fault. Damned Brexit!)

Thanks so much for this feedback. Yes - damned Brexit. All the fault of in-fighting in the UK Govt and a mistaken belief that a vote would make it all go away! It has caused small business and private individuals a good deal of unnecessary trouble.

The art piece came damaged unfortunately. The glass from the front was broken. I recommend the seller to send it with Fan Courier or other high quality postal services. However, I really like it.
