Cream colored paper. Handsome lacquer binding ornamented with flowers. Contents: complete text of koran.Notes : f49a: there is mentioned in margin 1170 A.D. = 1756 A.D.f293b: a Muslim prayer in Persian, of the Shia (Shiites) sect. Consequently this copy of the Koran was written by a Persian calligrapher, in Persia, and before 1756 A.D.
Two Illuminated leaves of the Koran. On each of these folios is the first surah of the Qur'an , the recitation of which forms a prominent part of daily worship. While these folios appear to be frontispieces, their backs are untouched, making it unlikely they were ever included in a codex.Illumination
