Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Qur\\\'an

1650-1700
Turkey, probably Istanbul.
Ink, colours and gold on paper; binding of leather over pasteboard, stamped, tooled and gilded.
Signed by Mustafa son of Mehmet.

In Istanbul interest in the scripts used for copying the Qur\\\'an increased from the 1650s. Even the sons of Sultan Mehmet IV (reigned 1648-87) were taught to write them. This manuscript may be by the son who later reigned as Sultan Mustafa II from 1695 to 1703. The illumination of the opening pages is certainly of imperial quality.
