Illumination is one of the most decorative-applied arts that are considered as a subset of art books. Quran-designing is one of the suitable ways for the manifestation of this art that has been developed since the early Islamic Ages. Illumination can be seen in various applications of the Qur'an, including the decoration of the opening pages, the opening pages of the components and etc. in the form of Shamseh(roundel) or rubrics. Rubric decorations were used by artists during Timurid and Qajar periods. There are reasonable examples from that era. Timurid examples preserved at the Sacred Threshold of Qom and the Qajar examples preserved at the Central Library of Tabriz are Valuable national reserves in the field of illuminated Qur’anic manuscripts which have contemplated until now. The present research answers the following two basic questions: What are the visual and decorative features of the selected rubrics of the illuminated Qu’ran’s of the Timurid and Qajar era? What are the Subscription and differentiation points of Timurid and Qajar Quran’s rubrics preserved at the Sacred Threshold of Qom and the Qajar examples preserved at the Central Library of Tabriz? This research is descriptive-analytical and works has been evaluated using comparative method. Resources have been collected by library method and samples have been collected through field method. The results of the research showed that the rubrics of the Qurans of the Timurid have a coherent feature and visual strength in form and role, regarding page proportions and decorative motifs, but the composition of the motifs of the Qajar rubrics has a rather diffuse structure. To use of arabesque motifs aesthetic, golden and lazuli colored has been seen in both works with variable proportions.

environment by some researchers in different fields such as poster, urban painting, etc. This psychological pattern can also be found in the context of the Islamic layout, especially the Qur'anic manuscripts. Gestalt theory is a collection of visual principles and rules, one of which is called the "shape and field" law. The Qur'anic version of the Qajar period, registered in the 3089, due to the richness of its designs and the quality of its work of illumination, is very important and appropriate for further studies.This research studies how to understand and recognize the visual patterns in the elements of Quranic Illumination using the concept of shape and background of Gestalt's laws. This research has been conducted in a descriptive-analytical way to answer this fundamental question: What is the basis and structure of the decorating of the coronation of the Quran according to the rules that form the principle of the form and the field of the principles of the psychological theory of Gestalt? The analysis of the elements used in the study of this exquisite Qur'an and the study of visual structure and its elements, based on the law of the form and the field of gestalt, characterizes the strength and strength of its composition.
