Description
English: This folio contains the last lines and colophon of the "Sharafnamah" (The Book of Honor), the first section of the fifth book (kitab) of Nizami's "Khamsah" entitled "Iskandarnamah" (The Book of Alexander). On the folio's verso appears the beginning of the second section of the "Iskandarnamah" called "Iqbalnamah" (The Book of Progress), arranged in an illuminated title page (see 1-84-154.1b V). The illuminated title page here includes the book's heading written in white ink, which reads: "Kitab Iqbalnamah-yi Shaykh Nizami, 'alayhi al-rahmah wa-al-maghfarah" (The Book of Progress of Nizami, mercy and forgiveness upon him). The title appears on a blue background decorated with concentric vines of red and yellow flowers. All around the title panel and the written surface appear bands of illuminated decoration on either a gold or blue background. Written during the last few decades of the 12th century A.D., the "Khamsah" consists of five books (kitab) written in rhyming distichs (mathnavi).
