The manuscripts will also be elucidated for the visitors by information boards mounted along their display where, apart from their historical and artistic value, also the pigments used in their illumination and ornamentation, covering techniques, and details on their prior reparations which cannot be immediately recognized by an untrained eye. In the exhibition, alongside the Korans, all of which are masterpieces prepared by Ottoman calligraphers (hattat) and painters (nakkas), the Mushafs with Kufic strips from different periods such as: Abbasids, Seljuks, Ilkhanids, Gaznavids, Safavids, and Mamluks; as well as from different regions such as India and the Maghreb that has never been exhibited before will be put to display. The notable artefacts of the exhibit are the Mushaf al-Sherif donated by Mehmed the Conqueror, the Mushaf al-Sherif written down with gold ink for Özbeg Khan, and particularly the 12 centuries old ancient Mushaf al-Sherif registred in the Nuruosmaniye Mosque inventory, which was written with a Kufic gold-inscribed calligraphy on a parchement at a time when paper was not commonly used in the Islamic World.

Folding-book manuscripts (Parabaiks in Burmese) are a type of writing material historically used in Mainland Southeast Asia, particularly in the areas of present-day Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The manuscripts are made of thick paper, usually of the Siamese rough bush (Khoi in Thai and Lao) tree or the paper mulberry, glued into a very long sheet and folded in a concertina fashion, with the front and back lacquered to form protective covers or attached to decorative wood covers. The unbound books are made in either white or black varieties, with the paper being undyed in the former and blackened with soot or lacquer in the latter. Along with paper made from bamboo and palm leaves, parabaik were the main medium for writing and drawing in early modern Burma/Myanmar.

While returning from a goodwill voyage to Japan in 1890, she encountered a typhoon off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, subsequently drifted into a reef, and sank. The shipwreck resulted in the loss of more than 500 sailors and officers, including Rear Admiral Ali Osman Pasha.

2008New Arabic Original cloth bdg. 592 p. In Arabic. Elephant folio. (49 x 35 cm). First Edition. Illuminated. Reprinted from the original manuscript of Topkapi Palace Museum dated 1584-87. The Koran known as Ahmed Karahisarî's Mushaf-i Serif is leading among the most important works created by artists, who are experts of letters of the Ottoman Palace dealing with the art of books. The work is registered at number 5 among the Hirka-i Saadet books of the Library of Topkapi Palace Museum. Its binding with golden gilded ornament, angle and border has miklep and is made of black leather and was repaired in time. Being the Koran with the largest size written in the Ottoman world, is sized 61.5x42.5 cm and consists of 300 sheets. The place of the work where the name of the calligrapher and the date of transcription would have been written, i.e. the colophon is left empty. The reason for attributing it to Ahmed Karahisarî, the famous calligrapher of the period of Kanunî Sultan Suleyman, is based on a foundation record at its beginning: in this foundation record on page 1b, it is briefly stated that the work is the Mushaf-i Serîf of Karahisarî, was kept in the sultan's treasure until then and was devoted to the Hirka-i Serîf Chamber (Private Chamber) for being recited in 1107 (1696) by Sultan Mustafa II. The beginnings of Fâtiha and Bakara chapters of the Koran, every page of which is gilded carefully, are written with celî muhakkak (large cursive style) and reyhanî calligraphy. Two opposed pages following the epigraph demonstrate a different arrangement. Here, one line each of celî calligraphy at the bottom and top and reyhanî calligraphy in a round medallion at the middle are used. In the opposed pages following this, the same arrangement is used without the medallion. Following this diversity at the beginning, the Koran is written according to a classical arrangement known as Yakut style, consisting of one line of celi muhakkak, five lines of nesih (roundish writing), one line of celî sulus (large style), again five lines of nesih and celî muhakkak calligraphy at the bottom. Ahmed Karahisarî is the most famous artist writing in this style among 16th century Ottoman calligraphers. However, it is quite surprising that the signature of Ahmed Karahisarî, who had great reputation in his time, is not seen at the end of the work. This can be explained by the failure to complete the Koran of the artist due to his death or his old age. It is possible to determine the period in which the work, accepted to be written by Ahmed Karahisarî, famous calligrapher of the time of Kanunî Sultan Suleyman, and incorporating the richest examples of Ottoman palace gilding art was completed with its main lines in the light of some documents.It is understood that 220 pages of the Koran known as Ahmed Karahisarî Mushaf-i Serif and which is one of the most valuable works of Topkapi Palace Museum were written by Karahisarî at the time of Kanunî Sultan Suleyman between 1545-55 and was left unfinished upon the death of the artist. It is also understood that the remaining 80 pages completing the Koran were possibly written by Hasan Celebi, his adoptive son, under the patronage of Sultan Murad III between 1584-87. Conjunction, drawing of rulers, gilding of every page and binding and final completion of the work was performed between 1584-1596. Murad III, who died in 1595, could not see the result of this study that he assumed the patronage of for long years.

2010New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (32 x 25 cm). In English. 422 p., color ills. Ninety-nine Qur'an manuscripts from Istanbul. Translated by Irvin Cemil Schick. The art of calligraphy was born of the desire record, ornament, and protect the text of the Holy Qur'an in the most perfect form by giving Arabic letters their most beautiful shapes, and by illuminating and binding the written oages so as to grant them a worthy appearance. Among the various peoples that adopted Islam, Ottoman Turks took this mission especially to heart, developing their own particular style especially after the conquest of Istanbul, and constantly striving for perfection in the artistic rendering of every kind of script.

2013As New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Roy. 8vo. 288 p. In Turkish edition. Most of what we know about attitudes toward Islam in the medieval and early modern West has been based on polemical treatises against Islam written by Christian scholars preoccupied with defending their own faith and attacking the doctrines of others. Christian readings of the Qur'an have in consequence typically been depicted as tedious and one-dimensional exercises in anti-Islamic hostility. In Reading the Qur'an in Latin Christendom, 1140-1560, Thomas E. Burman looks instead to a different set of sources: the Latin translations of the Qur'an made by European scholars and the manuscripts and early printed books in which these translations circulated. Using these largely unexplored materials, Burman argues that the reading of the Qur'an in Western Europe was much more complex. While their reading efforts were certainly often focused on attacking Islam, scholars of the period turned out to be equally interested in a whole range of grammatical, lexical, and interpretive problems presented by the text. Indeed, these two approaches were interconnected: attacking the Qur'an often required sophisticated explorations of difficult Arabic grammatical problems. Furthermore, while most readers explicitly denounced the Qur'an as a fraud, translations of the book are sometimes inserted into the standard manuscript format of Christian Bibles and other prestigious Latin texts (small, centered blocks of text surrounded by commentary) or in manuscripts embellished with beautiful decorated initials and elegant calligraphy for the pleasure of wealthy collectors. Addressing Christian-Muslim relations generally, as well as the histories of reading and the book, Burman offers a much fuller picture of how Europeans read the sacred text of Islam than we have previously had.

2011New English Original bdg. Small 4to. 184, 564, 216 p. A heavy volume. Ills. In Arabic. This is a facsimile edition of the copy (Mushaf) of the Holy Quran which is attributed to the time of Ali b. Abi Talib and located in Sana'a, Yemen. It comes out as a third publication in IRCICA's series of editions of oldest copies of the Quran. Earlier IRCICA had published editions, accompanied by descriptive and comparative studies, of two Quran copies that are attributed to the time of Othman b. Affan namely the copies of Topkapi, Istanbul and al-Mashhad al-Husayni, Cairo. The other copies attributed to the same period are in the following cities: Istanbul (the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, edition published by ISAM, Istanbul, 2008); London; Paris; St. Petersburg, and Tashkent. There are other editions of Quran copies that IRCICA published outside this series. One of them is the copy dated 582 H/1186 and known as the Fazil Pasha (Sherifovic) Mushaf, which is located in Gazi Husrevbegova Library, Sarajevo. Another edition, supervised by IRCICA, is the reprint of the Mushaf of Kazan dated 1803 which is known to be the first copy printed in the Muslim world; it was reprinted in cooperation with Kazan Municipality in the year 2005 corresponding to the millennium of Kazan city. By publishing these editions, with studies in the case of the former ones, IRCICA aims to contribute in preserving them and making them known and accessible to all. The Sana'a copy is located at the Grand Mosque of Sana'a. The elaborate Introduction to the edition is a study by Dr. Tayyar Altikulaç, specialist of the history of copies of the Quran and ex-Head of Religious Affairs in Turkey. The study is a concise history of the dissemination of the Holy Quran through its copies and of the developments relating to script, orthography, punctuation, locations, etc. of the copies. It examines, describes and analyses the characteristics of the Sana'a copy as to script, orthography, binding, etc. It also describes the other copies attributed to the period of Othman b. Affan as well as the copy printed by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, Medina, which is known to be in conformity with the orthography of the time of Othman b. Affan. IRCICA planned to publish this edition during the 2010-2011 period which, at the suggestion of IRCICA, was designated by the 2010 meeting of the OIC's Council of Foreign Ministers as the "1400th Year of the Revelation of the Holy Quran". The Council had invited all OIC member countries and Muslims' associations and institutions world-wide to commemorate this anniversary of the beginning of the revelation with cultural and scholarly activities that would contribute in diffusing a correct and deeper understanding of the Holy Quran. IRCICA for its part is honoured to have been able to record this publication among its activities related to the said Year.
