A leaf from an illuminated Koran, Persia, 1796, on laid paper (190 x 110 mm.). There are seventeen lines of neat black naskh script within a gold frame, text area 145 x 80 mm., sura headings in red thulth on gold grounds within blue, gold and polychrome panels, most sura headings in blue within a gold cartouche and blue and gold paneling, Juz’ divisions in red thulth on gold cartouches. Verso: There are seventeen lines of neat black naskh script within a gold frame, text area 145 x 80 mm., sura headings in red thulth on gold grounds within blue, gold and polychrome panels, most sura headings in blue within a gold cartouche and blue and gold paneling, Juz’ divisions in red thulth on gold cartouches.

The colophon reads "written by the slave, the sinner, the scribe Ibn Muhammad Ibrahim Muhammad al-Husni", and dated AH 1212 (AD 1796). The format of this Koran and color scheme are very close to that of another eighteenth century Koran in the Khalili collection, published in M. Bayani, A. Contadinin and T. Stanley, The Decorated Word, Oxford 1999, pages 166-167 item 55.

A Wonderful Leaf for The Manuscript Collector and A Great Gift Idea!
