Treasures of Islamic Book Art in 20 facsimile leaves and as a Luxury Box 

For thousands of years, phantastic manuscripts have been created throughout the Islamic world. Now, for the first time, some of them are partially reproduced as true-to-the-original Fine Art Facsimile Leaves. They form a unique collection worldwide illustrating the artistry of calligraphers and book illuminators from more than ten centuries and from different cultural backgrounds of the Islamic world. 

Each leaf is exactly reproduced according to the precious original, every aspect, the colour scheme as well as the bright gold – where available – are reproduced down to the smallest detail. Even irregular edges of the pages are represented exactly like the original by trimming. 

A noble passe-partout enfolds every facsimile leaf, accompanied by informative texts in both, English and Arabic, and protected by a luxurious gold-leafed presentation folder. 

Currently there are 20 single pages available in this series, twelve of which (marked with an asterisk *) are available in a special and strictly limited luxury edition. The series is being continued.
