Muslim world’s most exquisite handwritten Qur’an published in Iranian Nasta’liq script

The head of the general department of public libraries of South Khorasan Province announced on Tuesday the publication of one of the most exquisite handwritten copies of Qur’an in the Islamic world, which is scripted in Iranian Nasta'liq and in the style of calligraphy master Othman Taha.
"This Qur’an, which is the result of over 10 years of calligraphy by the distinguished calligraphy master, Parviz Nikbin, after four years of editing and vocalization, successfully obtained the approval of Dar al-Quran al-Karim of the Islamic Republic of Iran and was able to be published as the first complete Nasta'liq Qur’an, which is considered the bride of Persian scripts,” Ali Zohouri was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
"This Qur’an had remained for years without financial support and could not be published. However, with the explicit order and support of Governor-General Mohammad Reza Hashemi, we were able to reach an agreement with the esteemed CEO of Mehr Iran Bank for the allocation of printing costs. This endeavor was unique and unprecedented in its kind, as 22 billion Rials were secured from Tehran for the printing of a Quran."
Zohouri underlined that, “The publisher of this spiritual and artistic work is Chahar Derakht Publications, which has been very persistent and hardworking in this regard.”
