Abstract

Quran is the most important Islamic text which has led various nations of Islamic world such as the Iranians to apply the best of their arts in decorating it. Islamic era Iranian artists have turned every sheet of Quran to an exquisite work of art with the utmost beauty by using gold. The aim of this study is defining the process of decorating Qurans with gold and the question is that how much has the amount of gold which was used to adorn Qurans changed over the centuries. In AstanQodsRazavi’ s museum of Qurans, the evolution of Quran Gilding from the early Islamic era to the Qajar period is clearly apparent. In this research using this splendid source, the changes in decorating with gold is studied. At first few sections in Qurans were illuminated, but in later periods this ornamentation was expanded and the gradual development of embellishments are seen which were monocolor at first and then other colors were added to them through the centuries as the climax of Quran Gilding and Illumination is in the Safavid period and since then because of the prevalence of lithography in Qajar period, Quran ornamentations decreased. By surveying this evolution, we found out that Quran Gilding has had a developing and progressive process in comparison with early Islamic Period. This discernment opens up a new horizon for aesthetics of Islamic art and explains the influence of various historical periods. The research is done with a historical approach, using a descriptive-analytical method based on library sources and field studies.
