Unknown - Qu'ran - Ottoman - 1575

A single folio page containing the final verses of the Meccan Chapter 76, Al-Insan (Humans) v.22-31, the illuminated Surah of the Meccan Chapter 77, Al-Mursulat (Those 'Winds' Set Forth), v1-3. The scripture within this covers messages reassuring the Prophet and telling him to stay patient, messages to the deniers that God could replace them if he chose, but a better path would be redemption and finally that God's power to create should be taken as proof of his ability to bring the dead back to life for judgement. The folio consists of 10 lines of continuous text in black nasta'liq above the Chapter heading containing verses from Cahpter 76, together with a single illuminated 'Juz' marginal (lower left) indicating the 30th verse of the Chapter. The Surah of Chapter 77 is in white Thuluth script sitting within a gold cartouche booked by floral decoration. There are multiple 'aya' marking the verses within the scripture and diacritical (devotional markings) in red to provide guidance to the devotee. There is slight staining to the page, but nothing unexpected for page of its age. In fact, it is in remarkable condition. Please note that shipping costs are not solely the cost of the postal delivery service itself. Included within the shipping price is the work undertaken to prepare the article, for photography, for uploading to Catawiki, for preparation and packaging the article securely and for transporting the article to the postal delivery agent for processing. Also, please consider when bidding on this lot that this artwork is shipped from the UK. Import duties will now have to be paid by the recipient to the Postal Service when the parcel arrives in your country. This will likely vary between 5% and 20% of the sale price depending on your country's Import Rate, so please check this if you are concerned. This is a Tax collected on behalf of your Government and is not an additional fee charged by us.
