Description

Explore the history of manuscript art with Perspectives on Persian Painting: Illustrations to Amir Khusrau's Khamsah. Published by Routledge, this detailed study examines the visual elements found in the Khamsah (Quintet), the most significant work of Amir Khusrau (1253-1325) regarding manuscript illustration. Khusrau lived much of his life in Delhi and composed works in both Persian and Hindi. Because he acted as a link between the cultures of Persia and India, the early illustrated copies of his Khamsah hold unique historical value. This book analyzes the twenty discourses, brief parables, and four romances that make up this literary collection. Readers will gain insight into the first extant exemplar from the Persian area dating back to the late 14th century. This study provides a deep look into how these illustrations reflect the cultural connections of the era, making it a valuable resource for students and collectors of graphic arts and historical illustration.
