Thumbnail Quran (Arabic: مُصْحَفٌ مُصَغَّرٌ; Persian: قرآن بندانگشتی) or Miniature Quran are tiny-written Qurans having 2 types: Modern and Antique. Newer versions are produced in China, United Arab Emirates and Iran. But the antique versions can have almost 2 cm length, 1.5 cm width and 1 cm thickness. Some of them in hexagon or octagon shapes and with a metal box and a gilded leather wrapper.^[1] Very antique versions have fragile papers may be foxed in contact with air. Many versions date back to the Ottoman Empire era in Turkey, in Egypt dating back possibly to the Khedivate of Egypt, and production of them in England during WWI.^[2] Some are also written in different translations, such as Persian.
