Script: nasta'liq These calligraphic fragments are the first seven pages of Sa'di's Bustan (The Fruit Garden or The Orchard). The order of the first seven pages of this work all belonging to the same manuscript goes as follows: Page 1: 1-04-713.19.26, Page 2: 1-04-713.19.15, Page 3: 1-04-713.19.14, Page 4: 1-04-713.19.12, Page 5: 1-04-713.19.13, Page 6: 1-04-713.19.11, Page 7: 1-04-713.19.25 Page 3: The text here, as in the rest of the pages, provides a praise of God as an appropriate incipit to the text. The first two lines of poetry speak about God's decision to favor certain men: He places the crown of fortune on the head of one, / He brings another from a throne to the dust. / This one (has) the cap of Good Fortune on his head, / That one the blanket of Misfortune on his body. The text here, as in the rest of the pages, is executed in black nasta'liq script in twelve lines per page divided into two columns. It is provided with a rather slapdash frame and is pasted to a sheet of paper decorated with flecks of gold. The gold-flecked paper is also framed and pasted to a larger sheet of paper backed with cardboard. This copy of the Bustan may have been produced in India during the 17th century. The back of the second page (1-04-713.19.15) of this series includes a note supporting this provenance, as it states that the work was written by 'Abd al-Rashid Daylami. He was one of the famous calligraphers active at the court of the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan (r. 1627-1656) in Agra and Delhi. |
