 Studying and examining Quranic works is of great importance due to their respect and sanctity among Muslims, so ‎that the historical, cultural and religious value of such works doubles the importance of their protection and ‎preservation. The work examined in this study is a Quran scroll sample belonging to the Haj Rahim Mosque in ‎Tabriz. According to field research and statements by the board of trustees of the mosque, this scroll was placed ‎inside the mosque wall at an unknown time as a vow or talisman and was discovered in ‎‏1350‏‎ AH during the ‎reconstruction of the mosque through the thatched wall. During this study, the paper making technique and ink ‎used in the work were studied. In line with this goal, the type of paper fibers and paper pulp and the inks used in the ‎work, including black, red and gold pigment, and finally the glue used to join the sheets together were examined. All ‎the identifications made in this research were done using chemical methods except for the identification of the type ‎of glue used at the beginning and end of the sheets, which was done using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ‎device. The results indicate the use of linen and rag fibers and polysaccharide starch to prepare the paper and ‎carbon black ink, rosin pigment for the red ink, and copper oxide compounds for the gold color. Also, the glue used ‎at the beginning and end of the sheets was identified as -Serish- animal glue‏‏‏‏.
