Ottoman Turkey, dated 1196 AH (1782-83 AD)..

An attractive Ottoman Qur'an copied during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid I (r. 1774-1789). The concise calligraphy and elegant illumination throughout the volume indicate courtly patronage, likely commissioned by or for a high-ranking member of the Ottoman courts in 1196 of the Hijri calendar.
