The text in this copy of the Koran has been divided into sections in order to facilitate reading, learning by heart and also following. The art of illumination, meanwhile, performs its function by indicating places in the text through elements in the ornamentation, the illuminated page/ pages. This version of the Koran, which is the subject of the article, is registered with the number 504 at the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art. It belongs to the Safavid period and is a rare version in having every section illuminated. Half of the book, thirty sections and half of each section are separated by illuminated pages. There are also 65 facing illuminated pages. These illuminated pages are made more sumptuous by the different page layouts and designs, and there is both harmony and cohesion with respect to design and style.},author={Gülnur DURAN},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
