TEHRAN – A new edition of the Holy Quran inscribed by 40 Iranian calligraphers is scheduled to be showcased in the near future at the 21st International Holy Quran Exhibition, which is currently underway at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla.
The Quran Publication Center commissioned the calligraphers to inscribe the Holy Quran and they spent one year completing the job, the center announced in a press release on Tuesday.
The holy book will be unveiled next week during a ceremony at the exhibition.
Rare manuscript copies of the Holy Quran along with a number of newly-inscribed copies of the book are also on display at the exhibition.
