Abstract

Murassa binder, the desire to reproduce and preserve the Qur'an in the regions where Islam spread, led to the development of bookbinding as an important branch of art. There are motifs and arrangements that reflect the unique taste of each period and region. One of the centers in the Islamic world where quality bindings are produced is Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. On the other hand, original and distinguished examples of Islamic bookbinding were produced during the Timurids, Akkoyunlu Turkmens, Safavids, and Mamluks in Egypt. The bookbinding art, which passed from Central Asia to Iran, the Arabian Continent and Anatolia, was adorned with the motifs of the regions where the artists grew up, and various binding styles were formed with Arabesque, Herat, Hatai, Rumi Seljuk, Mamluk, Ottoman and Moorish motifs. During the Ottoman Empire; "Murassa" manuscripts, which were produced with superior jewelery techniques, especially in the period between the 16th and 19th centuries, are exhibited in many Museums and Libraries at home and abroad today.
