TRANSCRIPTION OF THE QUR'AN FROM THE XIV CENTURY FROM KARAĐOZ BEG MOSQUE IN MOSTAR

A copy of the 14th century Qur'an is kept in the Karađoz-beg Mosque in Mostar, one of the most beautiful mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hazim Numanagic's 2004 report states that the transcript is 600 years old. "The style of the letter, the extraordinary calligraphy and the golden illuminations on the pages of this transcript indicate that this information could be accurate," Numanagic's report said.
