A superb leaf from a miniature Qur'an dated 1751 and scribed in India. This leaf written on burnished paper, is beautifully intricate with arabesque gold borders, with beautifully spaced naskh script in black ink pillowed in gold clouds and still with a wonderful clarity. There are diacritical markings in red to guide the reader and the verses are separated by simple gold aya verse markers. A single commentary is provided lower left in the margin. We believe this leaf to be from Chapter 36, Ya-Sin (Ya-Sin), verses 76-77 which translate as, " So do not let their words grieve you O Prophet, indeed we fully know what they conceal and what they reveal. Do people not see that We have created them from a sperm drop...". The leaf is not mounted. leaving the buyer to decide how they wish to display this wonderful manuscript.
