Miniature Quran
A miniature Quran with a metallic cover and lens. The Quran measures 2.6 cm by 1.8 cm and is about 1 cm thick. I inherited it from my grandfather. The Quran seems to be centuries old, and is missing a couple of folios from the beginning. The origins of the book are unclear, but it is definitely a piece from certain collections made during the last decade of the 19th century, the most notable of which were printed by David Bryce and Sons in Glasgow. This Quran has 2 pages of Persian/Turkish in the end, indicating that this might have been printed in Istanbul or Delhi.
