Timurid Era Quran Manuscript to Be Registered at Iran’s Nat’l Heritage List
Hadi Sharifi, Head of Cultural Heritage Organization local office in Paveh, a border city in western Iranian province of Kermanshah, said that the manuscript had been visited by people in Zardouyi village.
"The village mosque is now the home to this national treasure and the Cultural Heritage Organization is doing preliminaries to have the Quran registered as national heritage item,” he told reporters.
"According to examinations, the Quran was styled as hand-written in three separate times: the first time of conception belongs to Timurid dynasty, the second is Safavid era, and the third part was styled by a Mulla Aziz during Pahlavi era,” Sharifi was quoted by Mehr news agency as saying.
"The historic Quran manuscript would be a tourist attraction in a far-flung village as this if registered at the National Heritage List,” he went on to say.
