Beschrijving

Bol Based on the 2025 Yarshater Lectures in Persian Art, this book presents distinctive aspects – some familiar and others overlooked – of Persianate manuscripts and manuscript making during the early modern period. Its four parts focus on paintings that often come at the beginning and end of manuscripts (frontispieces and finispieces); on the presence and use of page markers on manuscript folios; on the graphic and pictorial style of ‘Abdullah al-Shirazi, a prolific sixteenth-century painter-decorator; and on the image of the book in illustrated manuscripts from Iran and India. Marianna Shreve Simpson explores particular material and artistic features, forms and functions that shaped the making of deluxe Persianate manuscripts over the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries, and that contribute to the continuing appeal of this celebrated tradition today.
