Matbaa-i-Osmaniye, Istanbul 1889, In-8 (13,2x18,8cm), relié. - Coran ottoman complet, 612 pages lithographiées sur papier parchemin à l'encre noire et rubriquées à la main en rouge, dans des encadrements (8,1x13,2cm) noirs rehaussés à l'or brillant et mat, texte entièrement en arabe naskh sur 15 lignes et ponctué de rosettes dorées et polychromes, grandes rosettes enluminées en marge de certains feuillets. Reliure signée (Winkler?) L'exemplaire, comme traditionnellement pour les Corans, s'ouvre sur deux feuillets très richement et finement enluminés en bleu et or. Les dernières pages contiennent des bandeaux à l'or. Au colophon est indiqué que la copie a été exécutée par Mustafa Nazif Kad?rgal? Efendi en 1889. L'exemplaire a été enluminé et rehaussé à la main, le texte est lithographié. Superbe reliure islamique en pleine basane brune à rabat (mikleb). Plats frappés à l'or d'un riche décor composés d'entrelacs géométriques complexes avec un grand médaillon central irradiant. Dos orné d'une large frise dorée. Manque de cuir (mais le carton est toujours présent) en coins, bordures et mors en queues et têtes. 2 pages brunies, quelques piqûres et salissures dans les marges. Entre les corans traditionnellement manuscrits et les corans imprimés, une courte période utilise la lithographie pour une plus parfaite imitation de l'écriture manuscrite. En 1866, Osman Zeki Bey, un calligraphe ottoman, ouvre son imprimerie Matbaa-i-Osmaniye à Istamboul, il sera le premier éditeur à être autorisé à imprimer le Coran. Très bel exemplaire de ce Coran ottoman réalisé à la fin du XIXe siècle, superbe fruit de la collaboration entre l'imprimerie et la calligraphie. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] Complete illuminated Ottoman Qur'an manuscript, 1889, 8° (13,2x18,8cm), 612 p., bound. Complete Ottoman manuscript of the Qur'an, 612 pages written on parchment paper in black, margins ruled in black and red (8,1x13,2cm) enhanced in gilt, text entirely in naskh script on 15 lines per page with gilt and polychrome florets between verses, flanked by large illuminated floral motifs in the margins of certain leaves, finely gilt sura headings. Customary for Qur'ans, this copy opens with an elaborately and finely hand-illuminated double-page frontispiece in gilt and deep blue. The rest of the lithographed text is hand colored in gilt and red. The colophon indicates the copy as the work of Mustafa Nazif Kad?rgal? Efendi dated 1889. Superb Islamic full brown roan binding with a flap (mikleb), elaborately stamped in gilt with geometric motifs and an elaborate central radiant design, gilt flap spine with a palmette frieze, some leather missing to corners and rubbed edges. 2 browned pages, some foxing and soiling to margins. Between traditional manuscript Qur'ans and printed Qur'ans, there was a brief period when lithography was used to finely imitate handwriting. In 1866, Osman Zeki Bey, an Ottoman calligrapher, opened his Matbaa-i-Osmaniye printing house in Istanbul, becoming the first publisher authorized to print Qur'ans. A very fine copy of this Ottoman Qur'an produced at the end of the 19th century, the result of a fruitful collaboration between print and calligraphy.
