The text presents v.60-73 of chapter 36, Ya-Sin, which transition from the scene of the Day of Judgment to a direct appeal regarding human choice, accountability, and the unmistakable signs of God's grace in nature. Three (3) fine illuminated rosette marginals mark the 5th divisons of the chapter (60,65 and 70).

New German customs regulations mean that we are now having to pay customs before the item leaves the UK. Regrettably we have to pass these costs on through a surcharge on postage to Germany.
