Item Details

Description

Heading: (Persian Manuscript)
Author:
Title: Persian manuscript, perhaps the Shahnameh, with 5 full-page miniature paintings, in period binding with paintings on covers both inside and outside
Place Published: Persia
Publisher:
Date Published: 1714
Description:

Approx. 170 leaves, calligraphed in two columns, with liquid gold borders. With elaborate title page in gold and colors; 5 full-page miniature paintings in color. 14.7x9.2 cm (5¾x3½"), period leather-backed boards with watercolor or gouache on front and back covers and the insides of the covers.

Lovely Persian manuscript notable for the hand-painted covers as well as the captivating miniature paintings. The covers are from the early 19th century, during the Qajar dynasty. The front cover depicts a horseman spearing a bear; the rear shows a man and woman seated together on the ground; the inside of the front cover shows a man resting on pillows; and the inside of the rear cover depicts a woman resting on pillows surrounded by fruit. The covers are glazed, apparently done at the time of execution. Such hand-colored covers a very uncommon, and fragile. Miniature paintings within the manuscript are outdoor scenes, and have the heads of various personages in the margins, an unusual feature.

Condition

Some extremity wear to binding, front cover with a few chips to the image; contents coming loose from binding, minor internal soiling and wear a few small singes to lower edges; very good overall.
