Abstract

Safavid empire, which is an important place in Islamic art, is represented by artistic works of art. The Safeavid rulers played an important role in the protection and development of artistic activities. Especially the importance they give to book arts has led to the production of manuscripts in many subjects. From these centers, Shiraz has been one of the important places where the production of miniature and illuminated manuscripts had been done on many subjects such as history, science, literature, religion. The Qur'an which is the sacred book of the Islamic world have also been important during the Safavid period, and rare, specific Qur'anic copies have been produced in terms of binding, calligraphy, and page illumination. Some of these Qur'an manuscripts are now located in some of the libraries in our country. The subject matter of the Qur'an manuscripts is located in the Süleymaniye Library, the Sultan Ahmed I collection. These copies displaying Safavid-Shiraz styles will be evaluated in terms of illumination.
