A mesmerizing and beautiful FACSIMILE edition of the Quran / Koran. The original manuscript was produced either during the Safavid or Qajar Era in former Persia. This stunning facsimile edition is printed in Germany in 2001 C.E. Every page is unique in design and characteristics and no two pages are identical in format. The text of the scripture is written in the original Arabic with side notes and calligrapher's remarks written in a mix of Persian and Arabic on every page. A fascinating example of merging of Arabic and Persian languages and a magnificent tribute to diversity of the larger Islamic world. This ultra illustrious large format golden Quran comes in a marvelous case, which depicts paisleys embroidered on textured cloth that feels incredible to touch, and the inside is made of real and embossed leather depicting Persian flowers and patterns. A true piece of art in itself. Additionally there is a supplementary booklet, in Persian language, that tells the history of the original manuscript and how it survived the centuries of conflict in the region. What makes this stunning facsimile edition unique and hard to find is that it is a non-commercial edition, which means that there is absolutely no printed information about the publisher, ISBN or any contact details whatsoever, neither in the main book nor in the supplementary booklet. It is our assumption that it was published for some non-commercial purpose, perhaps either for a special cultural event or by a private person wanting to gift it to dignitaries. The only information about the book is a short text written in Persian and printed in the supplementary booklet which says: "By observing the features of its original version and with the efforts of Seyyed Sadegh Kharaazi, it was printed in Germany in the year 2001 during the era of the Islamic Republic of Iran. May Allah almighty accept him at his door." The Quran has 794 pages. The supplementary booklet has 36 pages. The foldable case is made of real cloth and leather.
