The handwritten Quran, transcribed by the calligrapher Umar Akta during the reign of Amir Timur, stands out for its immense size and unique calligraphy. This magnificent work was created in Herat between 1402 and 1405. The pages measure 1.25 by 2.25 meters. The manuscript was stored on a special stone slab in the Bibikhanym Mosque in Samarkand.
This manuscript is recognized as one of the largest copies of the Quran in history. According to some assumptions, Boysunghur Mirzo might have also participated in its transcription. Today, the pages of this manuscript are preserved in various museums and libraries, including the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in New York, the British Library in London, and collections in Iran.
It is worth noting that this grand copy of the Quran is significant not only due to its distinctive appearance but also as a cultural heritage of Islamic civilization. The pages of this manuscript continue to attract the attention of historians and calligraphy researchers.
