Qur'an Manuscript probably 14th century Qur'ans were copied in large number also for indivduals who would keep a copy at all times, while working, traveling or performing other activities. This miniature manuscript, the calligraphy of which is so small that its reading is arduous, was probably meant to be kept in a leather pouch and worn as a talisman rather than used for recitation. Although of difficult attribution, the multi-colored petaled border that frames its opening pages suggests a fourteenth century Iranian provenance.. Qur'an Manuscript 443200

Indigenous epigraphic records dating from the late 12th century CE indicate that, in 1153, the Maldives were converted to Islam by a wandering Arab mendicant. Certainly today the islands are one hundred percent Muslim, and eight centuries of tropical monsoon and Islamic iconoclasm have left little trace of the pre-Islamic religion and culture of the islanders.

Manuscript of the Qur'an Manuscript of the Qur'an, A.H. 889/1484 C.E. Ink, opaque watercolors, and gold on paper, Paper: 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 in. (9.5 x 9.5 cm). The patron who commissioned this manuscript of the Quran spared no expense—from the first few folios, replete with lush illumination, to the binding, elaborately engraved with the Chinese-inspired lotus blossoms and cloud bands common to the art of the Timurid dynasty in Iran and Central Asia. The second and third pages displayed here feature intricate vegetal ornamentation in gold on a background of cobalt blue, both materials prized for their value and beauty. The right-hand page contains the Arabic text of the Qurans first sura, or chapter, which plays a part in many Muslims daily lives; the following chapter begins on the left. The script is known as ghubar, which literally means “dust,” because the letters were thought to be as minute as grains of powder.
