Manuscript Folio...Islamic... 18th-19th century
Exhibition of pages from medieval to modern Qur’ans with comments from Boston’s Islamic communities
This is an illustrated and illuminated composite volume of three poetic texts: the Khamsah (quintet) of Niẓāmī Ganjavī (d. 605 AH / 1209 CE), the Khamsah (quintet) of Amīr Khusraw Dihlavī (d. 725 AH / 1325 CE), and the Timūrnāmah (Epic of Timur) by ʿAbd Allāh Hātifī (d. 927 AH / 1520 CE), also known as the Ẓafarnāmah. The texts are written in black naskh script, with titles, section headings, and incidentals in white or red tawqīʿ/riqāʿ script. It was produced in the tenth century AH / sixteenth CE, in either India or Safavid Iran. The binding is not original to the manuscript. According to a note on front flyleaf iia, the codex was re-bound and restored by a bookbinder of Tabriz, Khwand Mullā Mahdī Ṣaḥḥāf-i Tabrīzī in 1295 AH /1878 CE.
