This is a unique handwritten Quran from Demak,Java Island Indonesia. I acquired it from a friend in Indonesia sometime in 2004. This is the only known handwritten Quran from Demak. It binded in Moroccon red leather and written in fine naskh calligraphy. Few pages have beautiful colorful sun-like disc in margin. Knowing the importance and the uniqueness of this manuscript, I have contacted the National Library of Malaysia. This manuscript now in national Library of Malaysia with full protection & conservation.This Quran surprisingly has a colophon. Unfortunately I have lost the pictures and the details of its date & copyist.
