The nineteenth section of this Qur’an is in the Khalili collection. David James attributes it to Ottoman Turkey and dates it to the 15th century (Inv.QUR432; David James, After Timur, London, 1992, no.19, p.76). James considers the Qur’an to be a very rare survival from the period just following the Ottoman capture of Constantinople. The strength of the calligraphy as well as the understated illumination of the manuscript is a testament to the Ottoman mastery of the Arabic script and anticipates the Ottoman master scribes such as Sheikh Hamdullah who would formulate the rules for a uniquely Ottoman style of calligraphy.
