The patronage of Īlkhānid rulers and statesmen in the arts is characterized by a quest for monumentality in both architecture and manuscript production. The Qurʾān in particular was commissioned numerous times in unprecedented measurements and several such copies have survived. The fragments of one of them, known as Oljeytu’s Baghdad Qurʾān, have some surprising insights to offer and may serve as a window to illuminate general aspects of the production of these monumental works of art. An investigation into the history and codicology of the surviving fragments gives hints to their fate after they were donated to their patron’s tomb.

大作的动荡历史。关于Öljeytü的巨大巴格达古兰经的创作和传播的说明

Īlkhānid统治者和政治家在艺术上的光顾以在建筑和手稿生产方面都追求纪念性为特征。尤其是《古兰经》曾以空前的测量方式进行了无数次委托，并且有数本这样的副本得以幸存。其中一个的片段，被称为奥尔吉图（Oljeytu）的巴格达古兰经（Baghdad Qurʾān），提供了一些令人惊讶的见解，并且可以作为阐明这些巨大艺术作品生产一般方面的窗口。对幸存碎片的历史和医术学的调查表明了它们被捐赠给顾客坟墓后的命运。
