Germany - Complete Holy Quran - Real Gold Print Throughout - 1960

Complete Holy Quran – “Saf'ha Tamam” Edition, Printed in Genuine Gold, Germany, 1960

An exceptionally rare and magnificent edition of the Holy Quran, presented in the distinctive “Saf'ha Tamam” format and printed throughout using genuine gold. Produced in Germany in 1960, this remarkable volume represents an extraordinary combination of Islamic publishing heritage and the renowned precision of German printing craftsmanship.

Comprising 610 pages, each page is embellished with real gold printing, creating a luxurious and visually striking appearance. The exceptionally fine-quality paper has a beautiful tactile feel, further enhancing the reading experience. A fascinating characteristic of the original printing technique is that a subtle trace of genuine gold will be noticed when handling the pages.

The edition is housed in a gilded hardcover with a hard slipcase, measuring approximately 19 × 13 cm. The Quran itself is perfectly intact, while the original slipcase shows some signs of age-related wear and tear.

Beyond its extraordinary use of genuine gold, the edition is particularly intriguing for its German provenance. Quranic editions produced in European, non-Islamic countries are relatively uncommon, making a complete Quran printed in Germany in 1960 a fascinating testament to the international history of Islamic publishing. Even more remarkable is the use of a genuine-gold printing technique, a painstaking method that has largely disappeared from modern book production. The combination of its German manufacture, mid-20th-century date, exceptional paper quality, and extensive use of real gold makes this edition an unusually distinctive and desirable collector's piece.

A truly remarkable collector’s edition and a rare testament to a printing technique now effectively lost, this extraordinary Quran is an attractive and highly unusual piece for collectors of Islamic books, fine printing, and historic bibliographic works.
