Notlar	19th-century Qur’an manuscripts produced in Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire continued many Islamic art traditions, but could not entirely escape the increasing taste for Western aesthetics.The exquisite execution of this manuscript suggests a wealthy patron. The opening double page is set within an elaborate framework of floral and geometric arabesque cartouches, executed in gold, blue and other colours. The design recalls those of early Ottoman manuscripts, which - in turn - took their artistic inspiration from Iranian Qur’an production. The remainder of this Qur’an is executed in black naskhi on 390 gilt-edged folios, with 15 lines to each page. As a rule, Ottoman calligraphers preferred an odd number of lines to each page, be it 11, 13 or 15. The script is enhanced with red detailing, and the verse dividers are gilt. The chapter headings are executed in white riqa' on a golden ground enhanced by delicate floral ornament. Large coloured medallions in the page margins mark important sub-divisions of the text. The signature of the calligrapher – set into an elaborate gold rosette – appears on the last page.
