The books, which are kept at the Museum the Holy Quran in Tehran, have been scripted and illuminated by Iranian artists over the few past centuries.
“Writing the Holy Quran by Iranian calligraphers represents Iranians’ close association with Islamic culture over the past centuries,” Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Organization Director Mohammad-Sharif Malekzadeh said at the ceremony.
“Each copy features the skills of Iranian artists in calligraphy, illumination and bookbinding,” he added.
