Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 36 by 26 cm. 422 pages fully illustrated in colour. This volume of the Khalili Collection is devoted to the illustrated manuscripts and detached folios with historical and heroic epic subjects. Produced in Iran, India and Turkey, they date from the early 14th to the 20th… centuries; many are of major artistic importance. A number of folios in the Collection come from manuscripts of Firdawsi's Shahnmah. Among them are a single folio from the Ilkhanid Great Mongol Shahmah and 10 from the Shahmah executed for Shah Tahmasp. Complete illustrated manuscripts of Firdawsi's epic include a splendid copy, with 62 paintings, dated AH 1011 (AD 1602). The Collection also has illustrated folios from several dispersed but significant works of universal and dynastic history, including two from the earliest surviving illustrated copy of the Zafarnamah of Sharaf al-Din Yazdi. One especially important painting is a later 15th-century vision of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions in the company of Moses and the Virgin and Child. With slipcase. In publisher's shrink-wrap.
