拍品专文

This elegantly illuminated Qur’an is testament to the influence that many Muslim administrators had following the reign of Emperor Zhengde (r. 1491-1521). It is very rare to find signed and dated Chinese Qur’ans. Another Chinese Qur’an closely related to this manuscript was sold in these Rooms, 8 October 2015, lot 28.
