Makkah museum exhibits rare Qur’an

MAKKAH: The Holy Qur’an Museum, set within Makkah’s Hira Cultural District, is putting on display a collection of rare Qur’anic holdings, including a rare Qur’an dating to 1259 A.H. (1843 A.D.). The manuscript is distinguished by its meticulous hand in black ink, fully vocalized, with pages bordered by a gilded frame and gold rosettes parting one verse from the next, alongside finely wrought floral motifs that speak to how far the art of gilding and adorning Qur’anic copies had advanced by that period.
