Sundawi Qur'anic manuscript. Meanwhile, in general, manuscripts that are often circulated in good
print from middle eastern Indonesia use illumination with a geometric Islamic pattern. The
purpose of this study is to explain the Sundawi Qur'an as a whole related to the formulation of the
Hanjuang floral motif illumination concept, an explanation of the Hanjuang floral motif
illumination, and the relevance of the Hanjuang floral motif illumination to the Sundawi Qur'anic
Mushaf. This study uses a qualitative method with an aesthetic approach that systematically
describes the things that are the focus of the research. The data collection technique used in this
research is library research and field research using the interview method with informants. The
results of this study found that the formulation of the concept of illumination of the Hanjuang
floral motif with the Sundawi Qur'anic Mushaf is one of the characteristics of West Java plants or
flora and also as a means of introducing West Javanese ornaments in Sundawi Qur'anic
manuscripts, this illumination will have an impact on the synergy between the decorative motifs
and the writings on the Sundawi Qur'anic manuscripts verse and the Hanjuang motifs affect the
reader's enthusiasm to continue reading the Qur'an
