9 illuminated pages of poetic script on paper, in some cases heightened with gold, from a copy of Nizami's ISKANDERNAMA copied by Sadiq Bat son of Rajiq Bat, and dated 21 Rajab 1234 (1819 AD). The Iskandernama is the account, developed from the Greek poem, of the life and deeds of Alexander the Great as written by the C12th poet Nizami Ganjavi, (Nizami Ganje'i, Nizami, or Nezāmi) - formal name Jamal ad-Dīn Abū Muḥammad Ilyās ibn-Yūsuf ibn-Zakkī and copied by many scholars in the years after. The Iskandernama is the fourth part of the Khamsa of Nizami, a posthumous collection of five of Nizami's major works. It consists of two main and independent parts: the Sharaf-nama (Book of Glory) followed by the Iqbal-nama (Book of Fortune) (though the names are reversed in some copies). Both are written in rhymed couplets.

The leafs are all in good condition (minor repairs to the margins) with vibrant colours and clear details on burnished paper.

Item as described. Quick dispatch. Good communication. Couldn't be any happier. (Have to pay taxes and customs now - but that was clearly stated, foreseeable and not the sellers fault. Damned Brexit!)

Thanks so much for this feedback. Yes - damned Brexit. All the fault of in-fighting in the UK Govt and a mistaken belief that a vote would make it all go away! It has caused small business and private individuals a good deal of unnecessary trouble.

Exceptional seller, fine manuscript leaves, securely packed and shipped promptly. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.

With our pleasure. Thank you for your purchase.

The art piece came damaged unfortunately. The glass from the front was broken. I recommend the seller to send it with Fan Courier or other high quality postal services. However, I really like it.
