content: Identified by Annabel Gallop, The British Library: Qur'an; a lithographed copy. In Arabic. Printed in Bombay at the Muhammadiah press in 1299 (1881/82 AD); written by al-Haj Muhammad Samarra. Red cardboard covers. A very similar lithographed copy of the Qur'an, with the same red covers, which was found in Sumatra, is held in the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam, showing that the same types of printed Qur'ans circulated all over Southeast Asia at the time.
