Description
Svenska: Det Osmanska riket var en av världens främsta stormakter på 1600-talet. Och en expanderande stormakt, därtill. Rikets särskilda väktare var janitsarerna, specialtränade krigare med en stark religiös övertygelse. Truppernas organisation, avlöningssystem och krigsmusik påverkade, genom sina framgångar, de europeiska arméerna. Även en del av den muslimska ornamentiken letade sig in i Europa. På Skoklosters slott finns till exempel holländska kakelugnar med ”arabesker” och i biblioteket två vackert bundna böcker, varav detta exemplar av koranen är ett. Anledningen till att Carl Gustaf Wrangel köpte koranen är okänd. I Wrangels bibliotek finns även en samtida beskrivning på tyska om koranen och det osmanska riket. Möjligen kan syftet ha varit att lära känna sin fiende, eller för att beundra skönheten i skriften, eller för att ha nöjet att äga något exotiskt.
English: The Ottoman Empire was one of the world's premier great powers in the 17th century. And one which was also expanding. The empire's special guardians were the Janissaries; elite soldiers with a strong religious conviction. Thanks to their successes, the organisational structure, reward system and battle music of these troops had an impact on European armies. Different forms of Islamic ornamentation also found their way into Europe. For example, there are Dutch tile ovens with “arabesques” at Skokloster Castle and its library contains two beautifully bound books, of which this copy of the Qur'an is one. The reason why Carl Gustaf Wrangel purchased this Qur'an is unknown. Wrangel's library also contains a contemporary description in German of the Qur'an and the Ottoman Empire. The purpose was perhaps to get to know his enemy, or to admire the beauty of the text, or simply to have the pleasure of owning an exotic object.

Photograph
Public domain
This Swedish photograph is in the public domain in Sweden because one of the following applies:
  • The photograph does not reach the Swedish threshold of originality (common for snapshots and journalistic photos) and was created before 1 January 1974 (SFS 1960:729, § 49a).
  • The photograph was published anonymously before 1 January 1954 and the author did not reveal their identity during the following 70 years (SFS 1960:729, § 44).

For photos in the first category created before 1969, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies. For photos in the second category published before 1929, also {{PD-US-expired}} usually applies.

If the photographer died before 1954, {{PD-old-70}} should be used instead of this tag. If the author died before 1926, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies.

Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
