The Glorious Qur'an

This is an Arabic edition of the Holy Qur'an, the text of which was prepared under the supervision of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, as was the proofing of the films and plates.

The clear Arabic type was handset at the beginning of this century and the frames and ornamentation on all pages are printed in gold, blue and black.

The printing colours as well as the wood-free, off-white paper have been carefully composed and were produced especially for this Qur'an edition to high technical and aesthetic standards.

The cover design was adapted by Dr Mahmud Rasch from a Moroccan binding of the 9th century hijra (15th century AD).
