Illuminated Manuscript, Mihr and Mushtari, This manuscript is an illustrated copy of the well-known poem recounting the platonic love story between Mihr (the Sun), the son of Shhpr, and his vizier's son Mushtar (Jupiter). The story of 90 chapters was composed by Muammad ibn Amad Ar Tabrz (d. 784 AH / 1382 CE). The present copy was written in nastalq script by Murshid al-Ktib in 881 AH / 1476 CE. Considering the number of surviving manuscripts in which this calligraphers name is found, it seems he was particularly prolific. The present codex is illustrated with nine paintings. The gold-brushed leather binding with doublures of red leather decorated with filigree work is original to the manuscript.
