The National Library of Uzbekistan's manuscript collection houses unique handwritten juz' (parts) of the Quran.

The text with gold inserts and patterns was performed by calligraphers and artists who worked in the kitabkhana of Baysungur, the grandson of Amir Timur (802/1399 – 837/1433). The book was copied in the 15th century. The manuscript of the Quran is written in the most skilled muhaqqaq script, a variant of the Quranic naskḫ script, throughout all of its parts.
You can learn more about the topic in the book-album "The Manuscript and Book Heritage of the National Library of Uzbekistan named after Alisher Navoi" (Volume XLI) in the series "The Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan".
The main sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
