Visualizza traduzioneUnknown - Quran - Northern India - 1700
N. 89351875
A striking illuminated leaf from Chapter 2 of the Quran, Al-Baqarah (The Cow), v222-228, rescued from a damaged Qur'an dating back to AD1700 from North India. The verses from the Medinian Chapter discuss rules regarding oaths and the waiting period after divorce.
The leaf consists of three Surah headings in bold Muhaqqaq script and two blocks of scripture each of 6 lines in Muhaqqaq, which are flanked with wonderful celestial blue and floral arabesque columns. There are simple gold aya marking the verses and diacritical (devotional marks) in red guiding the reader and the occasional gold lettering. Each of the passages of scripture is framed with simple black and red lines, while the whole is framed with a more complex series of five (5) frame lines consiting of black, gold, red and finally a dark blue line.
The condition is very good for its age and the colours still very vibrant.
