Francesco Magnani

A very pleasing bi-folio miniature of Kashmiri origin copied from the Dewan written by Mohammed Shama od-din Hafez (1329-1399), and in very good condition. It is written in elegant nasta'liq in black ink by a fine calligrapher, and having beautiful floral borders and dividing columns burnished with gold. The scripture dividing horizontals and corner illustrations are particularly beautiful.  Each of the 12 lines of scripture in the folios are pillowed in gold clouds.  Each individual folio is the dimension shown in the description.

The Dewan, which expresses Sufi ideals in lyrics, was written by Mohammed Shama od-din Hafez (1329-1399), a Sufi Muslim who practised a mystical form of Islam.  His name 'Hafez' was given to those Muslims who could recite the Holy Koran by heart.
