Lot 229 AN ILLUMINATED QURAN LEAF WITH TAFSIR, PERSIA 16TH CENTURY

Arabic and Persian manuscript on paper, with the Qur’anic text elegantly written in large Muhaqqaq script. The principal text is accompanied by extensive interlinear and marginal commentary in smaller Persian script, creating a refined contrast between the monumental Arabic calligraphy and the more intimate exegetical text. The verses are articulated by finely executed diacritical marks and illuminated rosette verse markers outlined in black, while a small circular ornamental medallion adorns the outer margin. 22.5 by 32 cm
