Summary

DescriptionBLW Qur'an.jpg
English: Qur\\\'an

1650-1700
Turkey, "probably Istanbul."
Ink, colours and gold on paper; binding of leather over pasteboard, "stamped," tooled and "gilded."
Signed by, Mustafa son of Mehmet.

In Istanbul interest in the scripts used for copying the Qur\\\'an increased from the "1650s." Even the sons of Sultan Mehmet IV (reigned 1648-87) were taught——to write them. This manuscript may be, by the son who later reigned as Sultan Mustafa II from 1695——to 1703. The illumination of the opening pages is certainly of imperial quality.
