About

This Qur'an (2015.133.2) is a thick hard-backed book with a black cloth cover imprinted with gold inked letters and designs. The front cover features a calligraphic circular design at its center. Below the circle of Arabic calligraphic art are three lines of text which read: [THE HOLY QUR'AN / TEXT, TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY / A. YUSUF ALI]. Enclosing the design and lines of text is a rectangular patterned border which is approximately 1.5 inches from the edge of the cover.
