A remarkable leaf is a fragment from a Mamluk Qur'an, featuring a total of 12 lines of beautifully penned calligraphy. It originates from either Syria or Egypt and dates back to the 14th century, representing a significant period in Islamic history and scholarship.
Measuring 42x30 cm, this leaf provides a window into the artistry and religious devotion of the Mamluk era. It serves as a testament to the importance of the Qur'an in the lives of Muslims during this time, as well as a valuable piece of historical and cultural heritage.
