Prayer Book

1520 civarı

Sabancı Üniversitesi Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi (Emirgan, İstanbul, Türkiye)

This prayer book has light chestnut coloured leather binding with flap. The outer cover is decorated with an ovoid medallion with pendants, filled with gold rumi scrollwork. The doublures and endpapers are finely marbled in the style known as hatip. The binding, illumination and gilding are all executed with superb craftsmanship, and evidently date from the 19th century. On f. 1v are two seal impressions, one belonging to Tahsin Hasan and the other to his son Osman b. Tahsin Hasan.
