Rare Quran manuscript to be registered nationally

KERMANSHAH, Apr. 09 (MNA) – A rare Quran manuscript, styled during Timurid and Safavid eras, will be registered as national heritage item.

Hadi Sharifi, Head of Cultural Heritage Organization local office in Paveh, a border city of Kermanshah in west of Iran said that the manuscript had been visited by people in Zardouyi village; “village mosque now is the home to this national treasure and the Cultural Heritage Organization is doing preliminaries to have the Quran registered as national heritage item,” he told reporters.

“According to examinations, the Quran was styled as hand-written in three separate times: the first time of conception belongs to Timurid dynasty, the second is Safavid era, and the third part was styled by a Mulla Aziz during Pahlavi era,” Sharifi detailed. “Historical Quran manuscript would be a tourist attraction in a far-flung village as this if registered in National Heritage List."
