Title:
Literary Gathering, Baghdad, 12th Century
Caption:
An illustration from the Maqamat al-Hariri, a 12th century Arabic manuscript with tales by al-Hariri (1054-1122). This illustration shows a literary gathering in a garden outside Baghdad, where intellectuals sit beside a cool fountain, under shady trees, while a musician plays the lute. In the background, a farmer who is not part of the exclusive group of literati urges on his team of oxen.
