| Summary: |
The pages of this beautiful book were produced in sixteenth-century Safavid Iran and contain a collection of 40 Arabic ḥadīth - sayings of the Prophet Muḥammad - compiled and paraphrased into Persian verse by the celebrated Iranian poet and mystic Jāmī (1414-92). Composed in 886 AH (1481 CE), Jāmī’s text belonged to a flourishing and widespread tradition of ḥadīth compilations. This particular copy is calligraphed in an elegant nasta'līq script and delicately illuminated throughout. Each page comprises a central panel of light-blue paper on which the text is written and a broad margin of scrolling blossoms rendered in gold paint. The book was provided in the first half of the nineteenth century with a fine lacquered cover painted with naturalistic flowers (Text by Ünver Rüstem, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
