Nr. 85420169
A fine bi-folio manuscript, scribed in AH1205 (AD1790), after the works of Khwāje Shams-od-Dīn Moḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī (Persian: خواجه شمسالدین محمد حافظ شیرازی), known by his pen name ‘Hafiz’ ('the memorizer; the (safe) keeper’), a Persian lyric poet whose collected works are regarded by many Iranians as one of the highest pinnacles of Persian literature. One of his many beautiful and profound quotes is shown below
‘I will always lean my heart as close to your soul as I can’ - Hafiz
His works are often found in the homes of Persian speakers, who learn his poems by heart and use them as everyday proverbs and sayings. Sadly most of the pages from this work, scribed by Ahmed, were damaged and torn, but luckily we were able to rescue this fine bi-folio which is in good condition for its age. It is scribed in nastaliq with blue, red and gold divisions and margins on gold sprinkled paper. It is small and is likely therefore to have been a travellers companion book.
Each page is of the dimensions shown.

Se oversettelsePièce was exactly as described and delivered very quickly
Se oversettelseWas very satisfied until I found out that the manuscripts are held to the mount by adhesive tape impossible to remove without damaging the manuscripts. Who the hell puts tape on old manuscripts?!
Se oversettelseWe do show the mounting in the photographs that are provided for the auction. The tape we use is acid-free mounting tape and placed on the outer margins of the manuscripts on the reverse side.
Carefully packed, arrived in best condition

Se oversettelseThank you for this review. We are delighted you are satisfied. Kind regards.
Arrived very well packaged and padded. Go easy perhaps on the protective tape over the glass. It's the wrong type of tape. I can't remove it to see the painting !! But thanks all the same Rob
Se oversettelseGlad it arrived safely but disappointed the tape is proving difficult to remove. I hadn't realised we had taped the glass. Will you be able to resolve?
