Unknown - Quran, Bihar India - 1425
编号 86923365
A leaf from a much used and frail Quran originating in the state of Bihar, India, circa 1425. It contains the final verses of Chapter 64 At-Taghabun (Mutual Loss and Gain) v14-18, the Surah (heading) of Chapter 65, At-Talaq (Divorce) and part of v1 of that Chapter. These words talk of the test of the family and wealth and the need to spend in charity, and the need to divorce respectfully.
The Muslim calligraphers developed a distinctive style of script called Bihari (after the State), characterised by wide, heavy and extended horizontal lines, and thin verticals. In this case there are 16 lines of fine script with gold aya marking the verses and red diacriticals providing devotional direction. All references to Allah are in gold. Two decorative roundels in the margin mark the 15th verse of Chapter 64 and the heading of Chapter 65.
Because Bihar is a warm and humid province, manuscripts from there, do not generally keep well. This leaf has some water staining and leeching of the colour from one page to another and has a repair to the rear which is evident on the image 13e.
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.

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.
查看翻译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!)
查看翻译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.
