Early Quranic manuscripts
The Topkapi manuscript is an early manuscript of the Quran dated to the early 8th century. This manuscript is kept in the Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul, Turkey. It was wrongly attributed to Uthman Ibn Affan (d. 656), but judging from its illumination, the Topkapi manuscript does not date from the period (mid 7th century) when the copies of the Caliph Uthman were written.
Topkapı Palace
Next to it is the small but very colourful Privy Chamber of Ahmed III ("III. Ahmed Has Odası") with walls painted with panels of floral designs and bowls of fruit and with an intricate tiles fireplace ("ocak"). This room is therefore also known as the Fruit Room ("Yemis Odası") and was probably used for dining purposes.
