TAIPEI, April 10 (Bernama-CNA): The restoration of a 500-year-old handwritten Holy Quran, which was heavily damaged by time and elements, is likely to be completed by the end of April, according to the National Taiwan Library.

Only the book's cover and binding are left to be repaired, said Hsu Mei-wen, a book restorer at the national library's Book Hospital, who specialises in the restoration of ancient texts and calligraphy.
