The process of writing in the Gurmukhī script (esp. in the old Sikh manuscripts) represents a profound significance of Guru Nanak Dev ji’s philosophical worldview. Hand written Guru Granth Sahib with 714 folios was produced at the heights of the Sikh manuscript tradition from 18th till the 19th centuries. Affluent Sikh patrons would commission highly talented scribes to produce elaborately decorative copies of the Guru Granth Sahib (Fig. 6, 7 and 8).
