Octavo volume (165 x 110 mm) Approx 315 leaves. Arabic manuscript on polished paper, text written in black sulus script, 15 lines per page. Bound in a luxurious Ottoman brown leather binding, adorned with a central gilt shamsa and matching corner pieces, with overall floral tooling. In good condition. Spine slightly cracked and worn. Corners rubbed and worn. Each leaf ruled in gold; sura headings inscribed in white ink on gold panels. Every verse marker indicated with gilt floral rosettes. Opens with two richly illuminated double pages featuring vegetal motifs in gold, lapis lazuli, and polychrome pigments. This lavishly illuminated Ottoman Qur'an was copied by Hafiz Ali bin Fayd Allah, who identifies himself in the colophon as a kilercibasi (chief pantry official) of the Ottoman palace. His official position can possibly explain the high degree of luxury and ornamentation applied to this manuscript. Such finely crafted Qur'ans - commissioned or prepared within the palace sphere served both devotional and representational functions, reflecting the personal piety and cultural refinement of the Ottoman elite. This example belongs to a tradition of Qur'ans produced for court officials of favoured intellectuals, bridging artistic splendour and spiritual purpose.
