ottoman - page Coran manuscrit , manuscrit islamique , Ottoman , Qajar - 1750

Magnificent Qur'an manuscript folio dating probably from the 17th or 18th century, Ottoman era.

Made on paper of about 10 cm, each side contains 20 lines of calligraphy, for an exceptional total of 40 lines on a single folio.

The text is written in black ink and gold, with an elegant gilded frame.

The calligraphic style could be attributed to Hafız Osman, the famed Ottoman master calligrapher, pending confirmation.

A remarkable piece bearing witness to great calligraphic and artistic mastery. The achievement of 40 lines on such a small support is truly exceptional.
