Older publications such as the Tashkent copy that is attributed to Caliph ‘Uthman which was published by Russians in 1905 and Paris National Library (hijri I. and II. centuries), Saint Petersburg and London copies have sections and are uncomplete (one is one third of the Quran the other is one fourth of the Quran). However, being known as the oldest copies, Topkapi Palace Museum and Museum oof Turkish and Islamic Arts and al-Mashhad al-Ḥusaynī bi-al-Qāhirah copies’ are accepted near-complete (each one is missing only a few pages).

This is a facsimile copy of one of the oldest copies of the Qur’an attributed to Uthmān b. Affān. It is a product of seven-year long meticulous work led by Dr. Tayyar Altıkulaç.
