A single folio page containing the scripture of the Meccan Chapter 3, Al-Baqarah (The Cow) v.83-86 which talks of the Israelites failure to keep covenants and the punishments that will be due. The folio is from a 16th Century Qur'an from the Ottoman Empire, probably Turkey.

The folio consists of 12 lines of continuous text in black nasta'liq and a single illuminated 'Juz' marginal (lower left) indicating the 85th verse of the Chapter. Unusually, it also has a single vertical line of scripture in the left margin where it looks like the scribe has been forced to add a verse. This has created a left hand margin that steps inwards 2/3rd of the way down the page in order to ensure the script is aligned.

There are multiple 'aya' marking the verses within the scripture and diacritical (devotional markings) in red to provide guidance to the devotee.

Please note that shipping costs are not solely the cost of the postal delivery service itself. Included within the shipping price is the work undertaken to prepare the article, for photography, for uploading to Catawiki, for preparation and packaging the article securely and for transporting the article to the postal delivery agent for processing.

Many thanks for your feedback. I do understand your point regarding the cutting of it: sometimes the pages are so badly damaged around the edges that cutting the edges seems the sensible thing to do for mounting purposes. We do not intend any disrespect at all and apologise if this has offended.

Ottimo venditore, gentile e disponibile. Acquisto super

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.

Item 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.

Exceptional seller, fine manuscript leaves, securely packed and shipped promptly. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.

One of the items arived broken but seller offered me a discount without me asking for it. Nor provide evidence of the broken item. Trustworthy seller.
