Another Ilkhanid Qur’an juz’ with a similar illuminated headings was sold in these Rooms, 6 October 2011, lot 95. Our manuscript is unusual for the single large line of text which runs through the text panel on the opening illuminated bifolio. A slightly earlier related juz in the Khalili Collection attributed to North West Iran, circa 1175-1225, has similar strapwork borders around the opening text panel as can be seen on either side of the text on our opening bifolio (David James, The Master Scribes, London, 1992, no.5, pp.34-37). David James associates the format and presence of the strapwork borders with manuscript production in the later Ilkhanid period.
