We're stunned by this beautifully bound anthology of Persian poetry, created in the 16th century!

Attributed to present-day Turkey or Iran, the manuscript features ornate gold detailing and pages painted with watercolor and ink. It contains poetry by Amir Shahi of Sabzavar (Iranian, born in Sabzavar–died 1453), Maulana Nur al-Din `Abd al-Rahman Jami (Iranian, born 1414 in Jam–died 1492 in Herat), and Nasir Khusrau (Iranian, born 1003–died circa 1066).

The pages are composed using qita’i, a découpage technique in which letters are cut from colored paper and carefully arranged on contrasting folios.

The full anthology is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's open access collection and available to view on JSTOR.

hmmm

i had a dream i had to go past a group of children of the forest and i wasnt able to safely. but this girl i had a huge crush on freshman year could talk to them and let us pass? she was their “patron saint” and they loved her. thanks girl!

i had a dream that the three graces on my arm continued into an entire back piece of other renaissance art including the rest of Primavera and then the Creation of Adam. I had no idea the tattoo covered my whole back or that it was even on there because, it made sense to me in the dream, I cannot see my back! The tattoo artist just kind of did the rest of it when I was not looking?
