Türkiye Yazma Eserler Kurumu Başkanlığı, koleksiyonlarında saklı kalmış müstesna bir eser grubunu ilk kez bir araya getirdiği “Sancak Mushafları” Sergisi’ni kalıcı bir yayına dönüştürdü. Sancak Mushafları, saltanat sancaklarının alemlerine ve Osmanlı donanmasında gemilerin en büyük direklerine asılan, çoğu zaman altıgen, sekizgen, rulo ya da yonca biçiminde tertip edilmiş çok küçük ebatlı Kur’ân-ı Kerîmlerdir. 15. yüzyılda Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa’nın donanma gemilerinin direklerine çektirdiği sancak mushafı; 1875’te hizmete giren Mesudiye Zırhlısı’na Sultan Abdülaziz tarafından hediye edilen sancak mushafı gibi, çoğunluğu Osmanlı dönemine ait olmakla birlikte, İlhanlı ve Safevî dönemlerinden örneklerin de bulunduğu katalogda, her bir mushafın dikkate değer ayrı bir hikâyesi vardır. Türkçe, İngilizce ve Arapça olmak üzere üç dilde hazırlanan katalog, bu kültürel mirası yalnızca ülkemizdeki değil dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarındaki okur ve araştırmacılarla da buluşturmayı hedeflemektedir. Kültür hayatımız ve mushaflar tarihi açısından türünün ilk örneği olan “Sancak Mushafları” Kataloğu, henüz yeterince incelenmemiş bir alana ışık tutarak bu konuda yapılacak yeni araştırmalara yeni pencereler açacaktır.
